Former U.S. prosecutor and crypto advocate John Deaton has called on the new Trump administration to investigate the so-called Operation ChokePoint 2.0, aimed at excluding cryptocurrency firms from the traditional banking system.

Free-Market Concerns

Deaton highlighted a potential threat to free-market principles and innovation posed by Operation ChokePoint 2.0. In his public statement, he emphasized that if these actions go unchecked, it creates a dangerous precedent where regulatory bodies can quietly suppress entire industries they disfavor, stifling innovation and economic opportunity.

FDIC Scrutiny Intensifies

Deaton, known for his pro bono work with Ripple in its legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission, declared he would help in investigating the operation. His call to action followed a court order allowing Coinbase access to unredacted FDIC files, as the exchange seeks to understand its potential involvement. This controversy gained momentum after reports that FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg, associated with the plan, resigned in November.

Implications for the Crypto Industry

The situation raises serious concerns about potential regulatory overreach and its consequences for the crypto industry. Deaton argues that such practices undermine open competition, a hallmark of American capitalism. Though unconfirmed, the alleged scheme has already raised red flags.

In light of John Deaton's expressed concerns, it is clear that further investigations and discussions are necessary to determine the impact of the alleged Operation ChokePoint 2.0 on the crypto market and the free economy at large.
