US Bank Regulator Advises Caution on Crypto Activities, No Mandate to Halt Services

Credited from: REUTERS

  • The **Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)** advised banks to pause direct involvement in **cryptocurrency** but did not mandate a complete halt on banking services for crypto firms.
  • Documents released indicate that the FDIC's warnings were issued as a response to the **volatile state** of the crypto sector marred by scams and bankruptcies.
  • The release of the letters coincides with ongoing litigation by **Coinbase**, seeking to highlight what it claims is an effort to limit crypto access to traditional banking.
  • While the FDIC emphasized caution, they clarified that their stance does not amount to **debanking** practices and that normal banking services remain available to crypto companies.
  • An internal memo from the FDIC outlines the need for stricter scrutiny of banks engaging directly with cryptocurrencies, as opposed to merely providing service to crypto clients.
