The FDIC — which along with the Fed and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is warning banks not to allow crypto’s risks to migrate over to the financial system — declinedcomment. A spokesperson for the OCC, a national regulator, said it did not supervise Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank or Signature. The Fed did not respond to a request for comment.
As the SEC cracks down, bank regulators have put lenders on notice about crypto — prompting some experts to offer blunt assessments of their intentions. Even executives at the since-failed Signature Bank said last year that they planned to slash the concentration of crypto-linked deposits to under 20 percent.

“This is bank regulators doing their jobs, and it just so happens that right now the regulators have identified risks with crypto customers,” said Phillips, who is now a financial regulation consultant. Crypto firms “are clearly trying to get the banking agencies to back off by calling it something that it’s not.”
“The only explanation is they just wanted to send a message that banks should not be heavily or marginally involved in crypto,” he told POLITICO.
politico's GOP bias has always been clear but it wasnt always a detriment to its coverage. but the bald faced facts are such contradiction to P's coverage of crypto it has become laughable just running straight PR horse manure and quotes from industry lobbied GOP lackeys

Good riddance
Trump with the blessing of the banks and Republicans deregulated the banks. 16 banks failed while Cheeto was in office but let us blame Biden.
I mean, why can't they just welcome ponzi schemes that have transferred hundreds of billions of dollars from investors to criminal enterprises, in the largest financial scam in history?
