Could you please explain in detail what the Basel capital requirements entail specifically for Group 1 cryptoassets? I'm particularly interested in understanding the risk weights assigned to these assets and how they differ from other asset classes. Additionally, I'd like to know if there are any specific guidelines or frameworks in place to assess the creditworthiness of these cryptoassets within the context of Basel regulations. It would be helpful if you could also touch upon any potential challenges or implications these requirements may have on the crypto industry as a whole.

Section 2 of the relevant regulatory guidance outlines how the existing Basel capital framework can be interpreted and applied to Group 1 cryptoassets, which are typically the most widely traded and established digital assets.

Group cryptoassets, which encompass a range of digital assets, will be subject to risk-based capital requirements that are at least equivalent to those for other financial exposures.

The risk weights for these cryptoassets will be determined based on the underlying exposures, such as the credit risk and market risk associated with the assets.
