The order signed by Trump targets banks that refuse to provide services to cryptocurrency firms, including Bitcoin. The goal is to enhance banking access for the digital asset sector in the U.S.
Regulatory Changes
This order is expected to lead to changes in how banks operate and how cryptocurrency firms engage with them. It aims to increase access to banking and payment services for tokens and cryptocurrencies, addressing financial barriers and supporting sector innovation.
Expert Opinions
Experts within the cryptocurrency industry have expressed varying views regarding the order. Some believe it will improve liquidity and the market overall.
