COINOTAG News reports that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett has highlighted an important nomination hearing scheduled for next Thursday, which will involve significant scrutiny of the banking and cryptocurrency sectors. The hearing, conducted by the Republican members of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, will interrogate Federal Reserve nominee Michelle Bowman, who has been put forward to replace Michael Barr as Vice Chair for Supervision. Should Bowman receive confirmation, her role could significantly influence the regulatory landscape governing bank-related activities related to cryptocurrencies.
During the hearing, Republican lawmakers are expected to address pivotal issues, including the contentious practice of banks discontinuing services for cryptocurrency enterprises, commonly referred to as debanking. Additionally, questions surrounding the Federal Reserve’s evolving position on digital assets and a comprehensive analysis of the current regulatory posture towards the cryptocurrency industry will likely be focal points of discussion.
