CVC Hosted vs. Unhosted - 01/14/21 03:44 PM
Can someone, in layman's terms, explain to me the difference between hosted and non-hosted wallet when it comes to bitcoin and other CVC?? I have read a couple of articles, and while they give you the definitions of these terms (hosted-custodial products and services offered by financial intermediaries; unhosted-software that enables individuals to hold and use crypto assets on their personal devices.) I am not understanding where these apply to the bank. We have customers that purchase/sell bitcoin through websites. Would these transactions be considered hosted wallets? What are the implications of the new proposed rulemaking with reporting of certain transactions involving CVC or digital assets with legal tender status (LTDA). Thank you!
