CandleFocus FDIC Wanted to Send Shockwaves Through Banks, According to Ripple's Top Lawyer

Stuart Alderoty, the chief legal officer at Ripple, believes that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) attempted to intimidate banks with its recent letters regarding crypto-related activities. These letters, which were obtained by Coinbase through a court order, were intended to halt a wide range of crypto activities, including basic Bitcoin transactions. The letters support the industry's claims about "Operation Choke Point 2.0," a tactic similar to a previous initiative that targeted disfavored industries. Alderoty suggests that the crackdown on the crypto industry began in 2021 when the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) demanded pre-approval for banks' crypto activities. Coinbase's chief legal officer, Paul Grewal, has called on Congress to investigate this alleged crackdown.
