Global 29 banks held about $368.30 billion in crypto assets in Q2 last year, but spot assets accounted for less than 3%.

According to data released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) cited by CoinDesk, in the second quarter of 2024, 29 banks around the world held a total of 341.50 billion euros (about 368.30 billion dollars) in crypto assets, of which only 2.46% were spot crypto assets. Compared with 2021, banks' spot crypto holdings have decreased by 44%. The data shows that banks are more inclined to invest in crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs), accounting for 92.5% to avoid high volatility and regulatory risks. BCBS recommends that banks' exposure to spot crypto assets should not exceed 2%.
