needed? Would any changes to NCUA’s 

regulations be helpful in addressing 

uncertainty surrounding the 

permissibility of particular types of DLT 

activity, in order to support FICUs 

considering or engaging in such 

activities? 

Questions Regarding Share Insurance 

and Resolution 

24. Are there any steps the NCUA 

should consider to ensure FICU 

members can distinguish between 

uninsured digital asset products and 

insured shares? 

25. Are there distinctions or 

similarities between stablecoins 

(cryptocurrencies that are backed by a 

currency like the U.S. Dollar and are 

designed to have a stable value 

compared to other cryptocurrencies) 

and stored value products where the 

underlying funds are held at FICUs and, 

for which pass-through share insurance 

may be available to members in limited 

scenarios? 

26. If the NCUA were to encounter 

any of the digital assets use cases in the 

resolution process or in a 

conservatorship capacity, what 

complexities might be encountered in 

valuing, marketing, transferring, 

operating, or resolving the DeFi activity? 

What actions should be considered to 

overcome the complexities? 

Additional Considerations 

Commenters are invited to address 

any other DLT and DeFi applications or 

related information they seek to bring to 

the NCUA’s attention. Commenters are 

encouraged to provide the specific basis 

for their comments and, to the extent 

feasible, documentation to support any 

comments.

helps to ensure that requested data is 

provided in the desired format; 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized; collection 

instruments are clearly understood; and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents is properly assessed. 

Currently, the NEA is soliciting

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be
