Trump to Penalize Banks Blocking Crypto Transactions

President Trump is reportedly drafting an executive order to impose fines on US banks that block transactions involving crypto companies, addressing a key industry challenge. The order would penalize banks refusing to process digital asset transactions, particularly fiat-to-crypto conversions, as part of Trump’s push to establish US leadership in the crypto market. Crypto advocates like Binance’s Changpeng Zhao see this as a major step toward global banking access for crypto businesses. Concerns over ‘Operation Chokepoint 3.0’—alleged bank efforts to restrict crypto services—have fueled calls for action. The order aligns with broader Trump administration efforts to streamline crypto regulations and foster innovation.

Ethereum Foundation’s Role in Supporting Decentralization and Ecosystem Growth

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) aims to support grassroots initiatives within the decentralized ecosystem, promoting collaboration among various organizations to enhance network stability and flexibility. Vitalik Buterin emphasized that EF’s role is to empower rather than control, allowing other entities to lead in areas where they excel, thus maintaining decentralization. This approach fosters a diverse and resilient environment for Ethereum’s growth as a global platform for decentralized applications.
