Debanking order

Trump signed several executive orders on Thursday, including another one addressing debanking. A fact sheet published by the WHITE House said the order would "ensure that Federal regulators do not promote policies and practices that allow financial institutions to deny or restrict services based on political beliefs, religious beliefs or lawful business activities, ensuring fair access to banking for all Americans."

The order itself directs federal banking regulators, the Small Business Administration and the Treasury Secretary, alongside other officials, to "remove the use of reputation risk or equivalent concepts that could result in politicized or unlawful debanking" within the next six months.

The order itself did not mention crypto, though the fact sheet said the "digital assets industry has also been the target of unfair debanking initiatives."
