Cryptocurrency Banking Pressure Expected to Persist Until 2026

According to Odaily, blockchain regulatory advisors suggest that the pressure on cryptocurrency banking may continue until January 2026, when U.S. President Donald Trump will have the authority to appoint new Federal Reserve governors. Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Custodia Bank, highlights that the Federal Reserve is currently controlled by the Democratic Party and is scrutinizing two crypto-friendly banks, placing significant operational pressure on them. Despite potential reversals of anti-crypto policies by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve's stance remains unchanged, indicating that the crypto industry may still face regulatory challenges in the future.
