Based on Coinotag, the FDIC board is set to review a proposed rule that would limit regulators' use of 'reputation risk' as a basis for supervisory actions. This move could curb alleged crypto debanking and affect how banks handle digital asset-related activities. Acting Chair Travis Hill supports reevaluating supervisory approaches to prevent what critics call 'politicized or unlawful debanking.' The rule, if adopted, would narrow when examiners can cite reputation concerns to restrict bank services, potentially impacting crypto-related banking relationships. Public records show regulators previously asked banks to pause crypto activity, citing reputation risk. The FDIC is scheduled to discuss the proposed rulemaking in an upcoming meeting, with a public comment period likely to follow.
