These accounts are issued by banks for crypto exchanges’ customers to use to buy or sell cryptocurrencies at exchanges.
The regulators have banned financial institutions from issuing new virtual accounts until the new system is in place to ensure that “only real-name bank accounts and matching accounts at cryptocurrency exchanges” can be used for deposits and withdrawals, the news outlet described.
