White House officials clearly stated support for banks to "fully enter" the cryptocurrency field; don't naively think this is just a simple regulatory loosening. This is the major offensive launched by Wall Street after completing strategic positions.
From the passage of the GENIUS Act to the OCC's joint lifting of custody restrictions, the goal of traditional financial institutions (TradFi) is no longer just to get a piece of the pie, but to completely control the core pricing power of $BTC and $ETH through monopolizing custody, payments, and stablecoin tracks. The current tug-of-war between Coinbase and the White House over the CLARITY Act is essentially the final game between native crypto forces and bank capital.
