Coinbase Global on Tuesday renewed its call for U.S. banking regulators to clarify or revise their position on banks offering cryptocurrency services as well as potentially doing tie-ups with companies in the digital assets sector.

Banks that pursued crypto “were almost universally met with resistance” from the FDIC, the agency’s acting chair, Travis Hill, said Wednesday.

Cryptocurrency trading behemoth Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced its registration as the UK’s largest cryptocurrency exchange on Monday, signifying a key step in its global growth strategy.

Coinbase crypto exchange is standing up to US banking regulators to ensure that US banks are free to provide their services to crypto businesses.

Coinbase Global Inc. is urging US banking regulators to clarify or amend their positions in order to allow banks to offer custody and trading execution services for cryptocurrencies as well as clear the path for them to partner with the likes of Coinbase.
