Crypto Access To Banks In Focus After Trump’s New Executive Order
Wyoming’s special purpose depository institutions — companies built around crypto — could soon have a path to something they’ve long been denied: a Federal Reserve master account. A new executive order signed by US President Donald Trump puts that possibility on the table, along with a broader push to open up the US banking system to crypto and financial technology companies.

It also asks the Fed to look at legal barriers to that access and, if current law allows it, to set up clear application procedures. Decisions on completed applications would need to come within 90 days. That directive is one piece of a much larger policy move. Trump signed the order Monday, instructing federal regulators across multiple agencies to update their rules and clear the way for crypto and fintech firms to work alongside traditional financial institutions. The order sets a government-wide goal of cutting unnecessary barriers to entry and encouraging cooperation between technology-driven financial companies and federally regulated banks. LATEST: Trump just signed a new executive order that could change crypto banking in America and could open the US banking system to crypto and fintech companies. The Fed has 120 days to study whether digital asset companies can use the same banking infrastructure as major banks.… pic.twitter.com/IvlE5qoGsw — Bitinning (@bitinning) May 20, 2026 Agencies Given 90 Days To Act The Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp are among the agencies called on to act. Each has been directed to review its current supervisory practices within 90 days, with specific attention to any policies blocking fintech firms from forming partnerships with federally regulated institutions. Regulators are also being asked to look at how to make it easier for fintech companies to apply for bank charters, deposit insurance, and other federal approvals. The order states the review should uphold consumer protection, market integrity, and financial stability — not set those aside in favor of speed. The order defines fintech broadly. It covers companies offering services tied to digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, payment processing, custody, lending, brokerage, and securities market operations.

Elizabeth Warren, who has pushed for tighter limits on banking access for crypto companies. Trump’s order runs in the opposite direction. One side note drew attention the same day the order was signed. Trump’s media company, Truth Social, pulled its SEC filings for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, a combined Bitcoin-Ethereum ETF, and a crypto blue chip ETF — a move that sat awkwardly alongside the administration’s broader push to bring crypto further into the mainstream financial system.

The Brutally Honest Truth About Bitcoin That Most People Miss
A crypto analyst has shared a new analysis of Bitcoin (BTC), sharing many brutal truths that most people in the crypto market tend to miss. The analyst noted that despite the recent decline in Bitcoin’s price , most market participants still believe that the flagship cryptocurrency can rally much higher. Meanwhile, he stated that the market is barely seeing any positive moves, like retail investors returning to buy assets. However, he noted that the number of BTC searches on Google has increased, as people question which assets to buy during this downturn and how to purchase Bitcoin and Ethereum. Brutal Truths About Bitcoin And The Crypto Market In a YouTube video published on May 19, market expert TheModernInvestor noted that the rising number of Google searches for Bitcoin is a major indicator of what’s coming next. He shared several truths about Bitcoin, noting that the market is currently at the point where institutional investors, firms, and almost everyone are announcing a fresh bull cycle . He said that even some investors suggest the bear market, or crypto winter, has ended. TheModernInvestor attributed this surge in optimism to the CLARITY bill , which just concluded a voting session by the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. He also said the widespread positive sentiment is likely due to hopes of an interest rate cut , with investors in both the crypto and stock markets strongly believing that asset prices will continue going up. Furthermore, TheModernInvestor noted that prominent figures in the crypto market, like Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, have been trending online for weeks after announcing the start of a new bull market. According to the analyst, Wood said that ARKInvest’s research has shown that not only is the market going back up, but Bitcoin could reach a valuation of about $1 million per coin in the next few years. TheModernInvestor also noted that asset management firm Fidelity and Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury, had previously made similar predictions . Given how bullish everyone in the market is, including top institutional players, the analyst highlighted that it has become very difficult for market watchers not to get excited and follow the trend. In addition, TheModernInvestor explained that the crypto market tends to revolve around the movements of institutional players. He said that in 2017, when Bitcoin was seen as just a digital asset with no significant valuation, everyone dismissed it and even laughed at people who invested in it. However, once Larry Fink, the CEO and Chairman of BlackRock, spoke about Bitcoin, it became a thing of interest, with many investors flooding the market. The analyst also mentioned a truth about the recent quantum computing trend that has been rampant in the crypto market. He said that many top blockchains, including Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano, have announced plans to make their networks more quantum-ready to improve security. However, TheModernInvestor noted an oddity in the narrative. He said that many BTC developers are also trying to make Bitcoin’s network quantum-secure, and one way they intend to do that is by freezing older wallets, which they say makes the blockchain less secure. This solution to rising quantum threats has caused an uproar in the crypto space, as these developers appear to be targeting the wallet of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, which currently holds roughly 1 million BTC, worth billions of dollars. Many Bitcoin supporters, including Alex Thorn, the Head of Firmwide Research at Galaxy Digital, have warned that Nakamoto’s original wallet holdings must remain strictly untouched. Thorn said Nakamoto’s coins and BTC’s core property rights must be preserved even if Bitcoin’s price were to crash 50% and altcoins by 90%. Analyst Says This Cycle Will Be The Most Difficult In his video, TheModernInvestor further warned that this could be one of the most difficult cryptocurrency cycles for retail investors who are not yet in the market. He noted that even those already holding crypto assets may be surprised by what plays out as the cycle develops through 2026. With price expectations continuing to rise across the market, TheModernInvestor is confident that this decade will go down as one of the most remarkable periods for investing the world has ever seen.
