Minnesota Banks to Offer Crypto Custody, But Not as Fiduciaries: A New Era of Regulated Crypto Services

Minnesota is set to allow its banks and credit unions to provide crypto custody services starting August 1st, but they wont act as fiduciaries, meaning they wont be legally responsible for advising customers on their crypto investments. This move aims to keep Minnesotans from using unregulated out-of-state services and encourages local institutions to adapt to customer demands while maintaining some oversight. The new law permits banks to collaborate with third-party providers for crypto handling, keeping assets separate from their own funds. Simultaneously, Minnesota is considering a ban on crypto ATMs due to scams targeting residents. This development reflects a broader trend of crypto companies seeking federal charters for custody services, with regulators playing a crucial role in the industrys integration with traditional finance.
