- The White House is preparing an executive order to penalize banks for alleged discrimination against conservatives and cryptocurrency businesses.
- The proposed action includes investigations into violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, antitrust laws, and consumer protection laws.
- Eric Trump stated he moved toward cryptocurrency after facing issues with his banking institutions.
- Earlier this year, the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and Eric Trump filed a lawsuit against Capital One regarding the closure of several Trump-associated accounts.
- Banks have explained that regulatory pressures are the main reason for distancing themselves from the crypto industry, as seen in information released by the FDIC.
The White House plans to release an executive order targeting banks that have allegedly discriminated against conservative customers or businesses involved in cryptocurrency. This action will focus on enforcing federal laws and punishing institutions found to have taken part in “de-banking” such groups. No release date has been given for the order.
According to reporting from The Wall Street Journal (link), the draft executive order would require investigations into possible violations of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which aims to prevent discrimination in lending, as well as antitrust and consumer protection laws.
Eric Trump has said he first doubted cryptocurrency but changed his position after banking challenges. Earlier this year, the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and Eric Trump sued Capital One after the bank closed hundreds of accounts related to Trump businesses. Details on the lawsuit can be found in statements by both parties and in financial reports.
The Wall Street Journal further noted that banks defend their move away from cryptocurrency, saying that regulatory pressure drives these decisions. Freedom of information records made available by the FDIC back up this claim.
Banks and crypto companies continue to operate in a complex regulatory environment. The administration’s planned action signals greater federal attention to financial access and compliance under existing law. Additional background on the de-banking concerns is available from industry sources and ongoing legal cases.
