- The Trump administration plans an executive order to address crypto banks’ access to master accounts.
- Executive order targets anti-crypto policies, including restrictions from Operation Chokepoint 2.0.
- Crypto analyst Marty Party sees executive order as a shift away from restrictive Biden-era policies.
Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett reports that the Trump administration is getting ready to sign an executive order. This order will stop Federal Reserve policies that have blocked crypto banks from getting master accounts.
These accounts are needed to allow banking services for crypto-focused institutions. The executive order, expected to be signed soon, will concentrate on changing regulations. These regulations have made it hard for crypto firms to access banking services. This change will affect companies like Custodia Bank and Caitlin Long’s venture. Both are fighting legal battles with the Federal Reserve over this issue.
Additionally, the executive order will directly address anti-crypto banking policies from the Biden administration. The order aims to remove restrictions that keep crypto companies from securing the banking services they need.

Specifically, this includes policies tied to Operation Chokepoint 2.0. This effort was rejected for limiting crypto companies’ access to financial institutions. These measures have caused more legal action, as crypto businesses say they are unfairly denied services because of their work in the digital asset area.
Crypto Banking Policy Changes
Crypto analyst Marty Party has also commented. He notes that the executive order is a step toward ending Biden-era policies aimed at de-banking crypto firms.
His remarks highlight a possible long-term impact of such an order on the crypto market. He argues that it signals a shift away from the restrictive measures of the current administration.
The Controversy Surrounding Operation Chokepoint 2.0
Operation Chokepoint 2.0 has created debate within the crypto community. It was created after the Obama-era initiative that targeted payday lenders and firearms dealers. Critics view this version as an attempt to block crypto companies from accessing traditional banking systems.

Bo Hines, Executive Director of the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, stated that the administration is dedicated to stopping practices associated with Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Hines added that the industry can expect the executive order “in short order,” leaving the crypto sector waiting for a clearer regulatory future.
