Pressure on Crypto Banking Until 2026, Experts Warn
Industry experts predict that the challenges facing cryptocurrency banking are likely to persist until January 2026, awaiting potential changes when new Federal Reserve governors are appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The current scrutiny on two crypto-friendly banks by the Democratic-controlled Federal Reserve has caused operational strains, as noted by Caitlin Long, CEO of Custodia Bank.
The Federal Reserve’s Impact on Crypto
Despite potential shifts in anti-crypto stances from bodies like the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve’s unwavering position signals ongoing regulatory hurdles for the crypto sector. This scrutiny poses significant challenges for crypto banks and their operations, potentially affecting the industry’s growth and stability.
What Lies Ahead for Crypto Regulations?
The future of cryptocurrency banking regulations remains uncertain, with the looming possibility of continued pressures beyond 2026. The appointment of new Federal Reserve governors could bring changes that either alleviate or exacerbate the existing regulatory environment, impacting how crypto-friendly institutions operate in the U.S. market.
