The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has updated its guidance regarding cryptocurrency activities for banks, allowing them to engage in such activities without prior notice. This change, announced on April 3, 2025, rescinds the previous requirement for banks to notify the FDIC before participating in cryptocurrency-related activities. The new guidance is seen as a move to facilitate greater involvement of banks in the cryptocurrency sector, aligning regulatory frameworks with the evolving financial landscape. The updates were highlighted in multiple legal and financial news outlets, indicating a significant shift in the regulatory approach toward crypto in the banking sector.
