Let's break it down:

Feds Take a Stepping Stone Back on Crypto Supervision

The Federal Reserve is swinging the pendulum towards a more lenient stance on banks' cryptocurrency dealings. In a recent press release, the regulator announces that they're ditching four previous statements guiding banks in their crypto activities.

This decision ensures the Board's expectations remain in line with the ever-changing risks in the crypto industry, aiming to foster further innovation in the banking system. The Fed is now backing off from requiring advance notice of banks' crypto activities, instead choosing to monitor them under normal supervisory processes.

Not only that, but the Fed is also withdrawing a letter regarding supervisory non-objection for state member banks engaging in dollar token activities. Partnering with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve is also calling it quits on two joint statements regarding US bank crypto activities.

In anticipation, the Board is planning to team up with other agencies to consider whether any additional guidance to support innovation, including crypto-asset activities, is necessary[1][2][5].

This move follows a broader trend of regulators softening their stance towards the crypto sector since the reinstatement of the Trump administration.
