🚨 BREAKING — THIS IS MASSIVE 🚨🚨
1. What Just Happened
As of December 19, 2025, the U.S. Federal Reserve, led by Jerome Powell, announced that banks will NOT be stopped from serving legal Bitcoin and crypto clients.
Banks in the U.S. can now freely:
Custody crypto assets
Transact with crypto firms
Build products on crypto rails
This removes a major regulatory bottleneck that previously limited crypto adoption in traditional finance.
2. Why This Matters for Crypto & Bitcoin
The regulatory shift means banks can integrate crypto into their services without fear of pushback.
It enables real infrastructure for TradFi (traditional finance) and crypto to work together:
Bank balance sheets can include crypto
Institutional clients can access crypto products
Compliance-friendly rails are now possible
This is expected to accelerate adoption, increase liquidity, and make it easier for capital to flow into crypto markets.
3. Impact & Next Steps
The move is seen as a "green light" for the industry, not an endorsement, but a removal of barriers.
The adoption ladder for Bitcoin and crypto just advanced: Banks → Institutions → Corporations → Sovereigns.
With regulatory clarity, the rails are open and capital is expected to move faster into the crypto space.
