Crypto & Fintech Titans Pressure Trump: ’Stop Big Banks from Killing Open Banking’
Wall Street's old guard is suing to strangle financial innovation—and crypto's firing back.
Open banking's under siege. The big banks just launched a legal Hail Mary to gut consumer data-sharing rules, and now fintech and crypto heavyweights are calling in reinforcements. Their play? Mobilize Trump as the last line of defense.
Why this matters: The fight over your financial data just went nuclear. Open banking lets you share transaction history securely with apps—neobanks, crypto exchanges, budgeting tools. Traditional banks? They'd rather keep you trapped in their 1998-era online portals.
The cynical truth: This isn't about 'consumer protection.' It's about banks realizing they're becoming glorified plumbing for fintech's flashier services—and they'll spend millions on lawyers to avoid becoming obsolete.
What's next: If the lawsuit succeeds, kiss those instant crypto-to-bank transfers goodbye. But if Trump sides with innovation? Watch traditional banks start 'blockchain initiatives' faster than you can say 'hypocrisy.'
