The types of custody services may differ depending on the institution and its business model, the department added.
“For example, a bank could allow a customer to retain direct control over their own virtual currency and simply keep copies of private keys. […] Alternatively, the bank can force the client to transfer their virtual currency directly under the control of the organization, ”the document says.
Earlier, Greg Abbott announced plans to create a regulatory framework for the development of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in Texas.

Recall that at the end of May, the Nebraska authorities allowed local banks to store digital assets.
