The order asks regulators to remove policies that pushed banks to cut crypto ties.
Bitcoin is consolidating near $112K; analysts expect a possible reversal.
Trump received more than a healthy dose of praise.
US President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive
order that would direct federal banking regulators to investigate claims that
financial institutions have denied services to cryptocurrency firms and
conservative individuals or groups.
Meanwhile, BTCUSD has been on a bearish correction, heading
toward a recent low at 112,000. However, some analysts believe this sideways
movement may set the stage for another Bitcoin rally.
Executive Order Challenges Bank Derisking Practices
The draft order, seen by The Wall Street Journal, outlines
steps to determine whether banks breached antitrust, consumer protection, or
fair lending laws. If violations are found, regulators may impose penalties or
refer the cases to the Department of Justice.
BREAKING: Trump is getting ready to sign an executive order that will fine banks for debanking crypto companies.
The order also aims to remove policies that may have caused
banks to sever ties with crypto-related businesses. It calls on the Small
Business Administration to examine how such practices may have affected access
to loans.
Earlier this year, similar measures were discussed to
prevent banks from cutting services to specific industries. While no individual
banks are named, the order would look into actions taken against conservatives
and politically exposed persons.
The banking sector often justifies such decisions as
“derisking,” citing concerns over legal or reputational risks. Recently, the
Federal Reserve said it would no longer consider reputational risk in its
oversight process.
BTCUSD continues to trade in a narrow range after falling
toward the $112,000 level. The price remains in a correction phase. However,
market analysts see signs that this could change.
Bitcoin is now retesting the old support as resistance,
particularly between $117,000 and $118,000. A move above that zone could lead
to a short squeeze, with targets near $120,000.
