US banks are ‘free to begin supporting Bitcoin’ — Michael Saylor
The adoption of Bitcoin among the financial institutions of the United States could see a major boost after the American federal reserve has withdrawn its directives discouraging banks from engaging with cryptocurrency.
On April 24, the Fed withdrew its supervision letter in 2022 which served as advice to dissuade banks from engaging in crypto and stablecoin activities. The withdrawal stimulated a notable uprising in the feeling of Bitcoin investors (BTC).
The 2022 guidelines initially warned that the crypto could present risks for investors and the stability of the American financial system.
The Fed’s decision means that “banks are now free to start supporting Bitcoin,” said Michael Saylor, co-founder of the largest business bitcoin business in the world, Strategy, in a post of April 25.
The Fed’s decision “is an important evolution because it will simplify the path of institutional adoption”, according to Anastasija Plotnikova, co-founder and CEO of the Blockchain Fideum regulatory company.
“The withdrawal of these specific guidelines ensures that cryptographic assets will be supervised through standard supervision processes,” she told Cointtelegraph, adding:
“We still have to have genius and stable bills to adopt to further harmonize cryptographic activities among companies superimposed by the Fed and other market players. The combination of legislative effort will be the main engine of institutional adoption. ”
The transparency and responsibility of the stablecoin for a better economy of the big book, or stable law, adopted the Committee of Financial Services of the Chamber of the United States with a vote from 32 to 17 years on April 2.
The engineering law, abbreviated to guide and establish national innovation for American stables, adopted the senatorial banking committee by a vote of 18 to 6 years on March 13.

Fed quarter brand end of American regulatory hostility
The decision of the federal reserve can be a “significant turning point” for the institutional adoption of Bitcoin in the United States, according to Eneko Knörr, co-founder and CEO of Stabolut, a project of yield stablecoin.
“Until now, American regulatory hostility has practically made traditional financial institutions to participate in this space,” Knörr told Cointelegraph.
“With the recent change in Fed’s advice, the door is finally open. This unlocks a huge opportunity for banks – the one that has been dominated by players like Coinbase and other crypto -native companies,” added Knörr.
Knörr has added that banks are now likely to move quickly to meet customer demand and keep the market share previously captured by crypto-native companies like Coinbase.
