However, in 2023, “sudden regulatory changes” from agencies such as the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) made it clear that these agencies would no longer tolerate banks with large numbers of digital asset customers, at least through the first quarter of 2023, ultimately preventing Silvergate Bank from continuing its digital asset-focused business model.
