Basel materials distinguish cryptoasset treatments, exclude Group 1b and Group 2 assets from HQLA and require risk appetite, governance and ex-ante assessment for relevant bank exposures.
ORNX.PRO / RESEARCH LABORATORY / DECISION BRIEF
Digital asset treasury risk: resilience before allocation.
A board-ready framework for custody, liquidity, concentration, disclosure and dependency risk around digital-asset treasury decisions.

For a company, the operational path to redemption and continuity may be as important as the mark-to-market price of the asset.
Map the asset, custodian, bank, chain, liquidity venue, signer and disclosure dependency before setting an allocation limit.
Bank prudential rules are not automatically company accounting or legal rules; the framework must be adapted to the client’s perimeter.
Use this brief to decide what evidence, control and written approval are required before the next irreversible step.
