The White House is finalizing an executive order to penalize banks that discriminate against crypto entities, aligning with President Trump’s crypto-friendly stance.
This move could lower operational barriers for crypto companies, enhancing US innovation and potentially increasing market accessibility for digital assets.
The White House, led by President Donald Trump, is preparing an executive order aimed at banks. Banks found discriminating against crypto companies may face fines.
President Trump is spearheading the effort alongside key federal regulators. The Fed and FDIC will ensure compliance with existing laws.
The order targets banks denying services to crypto firms, affecting their operational capabilities. According to Changpeng Zhao, Founder of Binance, “It used to be that corresponding banks in the US block transactions involving crypto (fiat for buying crypto). This [potential order] opens banking for crypto internationally.”
Monetary penalties and consent decrees could be imposed on non-compliant banks. This may reduce reliance on offshore banking and improve onshore liquidity for crypto.
Industry leaders view this move as a positive shift for the sector. Enhanced access to banking may accelerate crypto business growth domestically.
Improved banking access could support growth in Bitcoin and Ethereum markets. This correction addresses historical banking restrictions faced by crypto companies.
