🚨 U.S. Liquidity & Crypto Rails Are Shifting 🚨
Two major developments are reshaping the U.S. financial and crypto landscape — and institutions are paying close attention. 👀
💵 Fed Injects $16B in Liquidity
The Federal Reserve just injected $16 billion into the U.S. banking system via overnight repo operations — the second-largest liquidity injection since COVID.
While officials frame this as routine liquidity management, markets often view such moves as supportive for risk assets.
🏦 U.S. Banks Get Green Light for Crypto Transactions
The OCC has clarified that national banks can legally participate in risk-free crypto transactions.
✔️ Banks can act as intermediaries
✔️ No proprietary trading
✔️ No long-term crypto exposure
As Wintermute OTC explains, banks simply facilitate trades — briefly holding crypto before transferring it to liquidity providers. This keeps risk off bank balance sheets while opening the door for institutional crypto brokerage at scale.
🔗 Why This Matters
• Liquidity support from the Fed
• Regulatory clarity from the OCC
• Banks entering crypto as facilitators, not speculators
TradFi isn’t betting on crypto — it’s building the rails.
The line between traditional finance and digital assets just got thinner. 🚀
