Will banks that debanked crypto companies unfairly be forced to reinstate them? Custodia Bank founder and CEO Caitlin Long <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CaitlinLong_\/status\/1953669835713613978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dives into<\/a> the finer points of the order:<\/p>\n<h2>Debanking executive order installs independent overseer<\/h2>\n<p>The first \u201chidden gem,\u201d according to Long, is that Trump\u2019s debanking executive order installs an independent overseer, highlighting the administration\u2019s reservations with the existing three federal banking regulators, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve (Fed), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it places the Small Business Administration (SBA), a non-bank regulator, as an independent overseer above these agencies to monitor debanking issues. This looks an awful lot like a lack of faith in existing agencies\u2019 willingness or ability to address political and unfair debanking practices.<\/p>\n<h2>The SBA\u2019s leader is a long-time Bitcoiner, Kelly Loeffler<\/h2>\n<p>President Trump picked <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/kelly-loeffler\/\">Kelly Loeffler<\/a>, a former senator, business executive, and known supporter of Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry, to lead the SBA. This appointment speaks volumes in the crypto community, as Loeffler was the CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/bakkt\/\">Bakkt<\/a>, an institutional bitcoin futures platform, before her Senate career.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to place her in charge of monitoring debanking is an indication that this administration is serious about reform and that its trust in the previous regulatory agencies is low.<\/p>\n<h2>Political leanings inside the banking agencies<\/h2>\n<p>Long highlights the political leanings of staff at agencies like the Fed and FDIC. According to contribution records, a large majority of donations from Fed and FDIC staff went to Democratic candidates in recent elections, with Long placing the figure as high as 92% for Democrats in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>This raises concerns for some that regulatory actions may have been driven by partisan biases, especially given the history of crypto-related \u201cdebanking\u201d during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<h2>Definition and scope of \u2018politicized or unlawful debanking\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Trump\u2019s debanking executive order defines \u201cpoliticized\/unlawful debanking\u201d broadly, focusing on \u201clawful business activities\u201d rather than naming crypto or any specific sector. This language means banks can no longer refuse service simply because a business is a crypto firm if it is otherwise in compliance. The order targets not just crypto companies, but any lawful firms that may face political discrimination. As Long points out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBanks that refused to serve or debanked lawful crypto companies are on the hook.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The litmus test: Custodia and other crypto banks<\/h2>\n<p>Custodia Bank previously faced debanking after regulators pressured multiple banks to cut ties due to their crypto business, even though the bank had a clean compliance record.<\/p>\n<p>Long asserts that the true test of Trump\u2019s debanking executive order will be whether banks that debanked Custodia (and similar crypto firms) are compelled to reinstate them. The order\u2019s success, then, will be measured by real outcomes in banking access for crypto companies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf they reinstate us, then the EO succeeded\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump issued a debanking executive order this week aimed at stopping what his administration described as unfair banking discrimination toward the crypto sector.
