ANCHOR: This is the cryptobanking.news daily brief for Wednesday, 4 November.
ANCHOR: First Abu Dhabi Bank has moved a portfolio of digital assets into and out of regulated custody through Komainu. The bank says this lets digital assets serve as collateral for institutional financing such as repurchase agreements, with first transactions still to come.
CO-HOST: In Switzerland, fintech Safirum has launched its CHF-S Swiss franc stablecoin on Solana. Reserves are held in segregated accounts at Berner Kantonalbank and Banque Richelieu, and transfers are limited to verified, whitelisted wallets.
ANCHOR: Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission has drafted licensing rules for stablecoin issuers. Banks may apply, and non-bank issuers would need at least NT$300 million in paid-in capital and reserves no less than the coins outstanding.
