U.S. federal banking regulators the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued joint guidance on 5 March 2026 clarifying the capital treatment of tokenized securities. The agencies stated that securities whose ownership is represented using distributed ledger technology (DLT) will generally receive the same capital treatment as their non-tokenized equivalents under existing bank capital rules.

The guidance states that the capital framework is technology neutral and that the technology used to issue or transact in a security does not generally affect its capital treatment. The agencies clarified that an eligible tokenized security should be treated in the same manner as the non-tokenized form of the security under the capital rule, while banks must continue to apply appropriate risk management practices and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has released its Work Programme for 2026.

The programme identifies continued monitoring of crypto-asset markets as a key area of work, with a specific focus on stablecoins. Following the completion of its global thematic review of crypto regulation in 2025, the FSB will examine potential vulnerabilities associated with stablecoins, particularly those arising from multi-jurisdictional stablecoin arrangements, and will organise supervisory discussions among regulators on the issue.

The work programme also notes that the FSB will continue monitoring developments in digital assets and assessing their implications for global financial stability. As part of this workstream, the organisation plans to publish a “Summary of targeted analysis of critical cross-border issues in digital assets” in October 2026.

Founder Secretary’s Thought of the Day | HRDS INDIA 🌿

“Administration must be firm in principle and gentle in ex*****on.”

Effective administration requires clarity of principles and sensitivity in action.

Strong values provide direction, but the way decisions are implemented determines their true impact on people’s lives. Firmness in principle ensures integrity, while gentleness in ex*****on ensures fairness and respect for human dignity.

At HRDS INDIA, our work across tribal and marginalised communities reflects this balance — where accountability is upheld with compassion, and governance remains both responsible and humane.

Because leadership becomes meaningful when strength and empathy work together.
