Opinion: The Repeal of Crypto-related Banking Guidance by the Federal Reserve Could Accelerate Traditional Banks' Adoption of BTC Checking Accounts, Crypto Loans, and More

The Federal Reserve has announced the withdrawal of regulatory guidance concerning banks' crypto asset and USD token operations, along with updating expected standards for related services.

Damilola Esebame, a contributing author for Finance Feeds, analyzes that this move by the Federal Reserve signifies a broader legitimization of Bitcoin in the eyes of regulatory bodies, surpassing mere banking policies. It may help the Federal Reserve accelerate its vision of a financial environment where Bitcoin is as accessible and safe as traditional fiat currency. This could mean that Bitcoin checking accounts, crypto-backed loans, and crypto-to-fiat conversions may be integrated into traditional banking services sooner than expected.
