Crypto Law Roundup: ICBA Sues OCC, Treasury Sanctions A7 Network, Tether Under Scrutiny

  • —On Oct. 2 the ICBA sued the OCC in federal court over its March 2026 chartering rule and Protego's approval
  • —On Oct. 1 OFAC designated the A7 Network a significant transnational criminal organization
  • —Tether said it froze roughly $550 million in Iran-linked assets during 2026
  • —ESMA proposed regulating intermediary access to DeFi protocols as part of its MiCA review
Why it matters: The OCC lawsuit clouds the charter path for crypto custodians, while ESMA's MiCA proposals could reshape how DeFi interfaces operate in the EU.
