Establish digital-asset account eligibility guardrails
Some customer categories require a durable line between acceptable activity and unacceptable exposure.
The hardest decisions often pair strong evidence with consequences that remain after the policy is published.
“We’re not asking for special treatment—we need someone to understand what our business actually does.”
Ama Balogun · Chief Financial Officer
Leads finance for a software company that provides compliance tooling to digital-asset businesses but does not custody assets.
What pulls against what
- examination remediation vs. customer continuity
- sector taxonomy vs. actual activity
- conservative restriction vs. proportionate controls
- automated classification vs. verified evidence
- deadline certainty vs. durable policy quality
What is at stake
A fixed examination deadline requires defensible account classifications. Overreach disrupts legitimate businesses; underreach leaves material compliance exposure
