Michael Barr, a notable figure in banking and crypto, has resigned from his position as Fed Vice-Chair, stirring debate over his role in digital asset regulation.

A Polarizing Figure in Banking and Crypto

On January 6, the Fed announced Barr's resignation. Since July 2022, Barr served as Vice Chair for Supervision, a role established after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. During his tenure, he sought to expand the Federal Reserve's regulatory authority over digital assets, causing unease in the crypto industry.

Allegations of Overreach

In November 2024, Barr was criticized by Congressman Zach Nunn for his anti-crypto stance. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis stated that Barr "illegally increased his power" at the cost of Wyoming’s digital asset industry.

"You’ve all engaged in an anti-crypto crusade during your time here. You have helped make the United States a second-tier place for digital assets."Zach Nunn

Implications for the Crypto Industry

Barr's resignation follows other anti-crypto officials stepping down after Donald Trump’s election victory. Barr cited the risk of a dispute with the incoming administration as part of his reason for leaving.

Michael Barr's departure marks a significant turning point in the relationship between the Fed and the crypto industry, sparking expectations for shifts in digital asset regulation.
