U.S. top banking regulator warns of "debanking" and misuse of CFT rules in crypto sector. A review by the OCC found nine major banks imposed restrictions on digital asset clients, not based on risk but business type. The report raises concerns about Chokepoint 2.0 tactics, with critics saying regulators still discourage crypto services. BTC as hedge against inflation remains a key debate point. The OCC is assessing if banks violated anti-discrimination laws. It recently allowed banks to hold crypto for blockchain-based activities and process risk-free transactions.
