Why Minnesota is empowering local banks to fight Wall Street for crypto revenue
Minnesota has enacted a law allowing state-chartered banks and credit unions to offer cryptocurrency custody services. This legislation aims to prevent deposit flight to out-of-state crypto platforms and keep local financial institutions competitive. The law, effective August 1, 2026, comes with a ban on crypto ATMs and requires compliance with strict federal standards.
- ▪The new law is designed to stem deposit flight from local banks to crypto exchanges.
- ▪Lawmakers believe that the measure is necessary to keep community institutions competitive against Wall Street's push into digital assets.
- ▪The legislation was signed by Governor Tim Walz and will take effect in August 2026.
