The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has finalised targeted amendments to its prudential standard on banks' exposures to cryptoassets.

The targeted amendments to the cryptoasset prudential standard aim to further promote a consistent understanding of the standard, particularly regarding the criteria for stablecoins to receive a preferential "Group 1b" regulatory treatment. Various other technical amendments clarify other aspects of the standard.

The Committee has agreed to implement the final revised standard by 1 January 2026.
