Elizabeth Warren Questions 'Effective Crypto Banks' By Coinbase, Ripple, Paxos
Warren says the firms are avoiding full bank oversight while taking on custodial, payments and lending activities, and she seeks OCC records on Trump-family contacts.
- On Tuesday, Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency over its decision to let nine crypto firms operate as trust banks without proper safeguards.
- The OCC has been granting these trust charters as part of President Donald Trump's agenda to elevate the crypto sector and establish a friendly regulatory environment.
- Companies including Coinbase, Paxos, Ripple, BitGo, and Fidelity Digital Asset Services are "effectively crypto banks" that evade fundamental safeguards, Warren wrote.
- In her letter to OCC chief Jonathan Gould, Warren demanded records of communications between the agency and President Trump regarding World Liberty Financial Inc.
- While the OCC offered no immediate comment, the inquiry marks an escalation in the Senate Banking Committee's ongoing scrutiny of crypto's integration into traditional banking.
