💵 💴 💶Trump Administration Plans to Allow Banks to Trade Cryptocurrencies💴 💶
Trump’s second presidential term is kicking off with significant changes that enable banks to enter the cryptocurrency trading space. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that these new policies will make it easier for banks to provide crypto trading services to their customers. The Trump administration plans to revoke the SEC’s SAB 121 regulation, which previously made it difficult for banks and financial institutions to include crypto assets in their balance sheets. Allaire expressed optimism, noting that the removal of this regulation would give the sector a positive boost.
