U.S. House Grievances Over ‘Choke Point 2.0’ Highlight Crypto Banking Risk: What BTC, ETH Traders Should Watch Now

According to the source, U.S. House lawmakers have detailed grievances alleging that federal banking regulators pressured banks to de-risk lawful crypto clients under a so-called ‘Choke Point 2.0,’ raising potential impacts on crypto-fiat rails and market liquidity (source: U.S. House Committee on Financial Services oversight focus, 2023–2024). These concerns echo prior HFSC oversight letters to the FDIC, Federal Reserve, and OCC that sought records on supervisory actions affecting crypto firm bank access (source: U.S. House Committee on Financial Services majority oversight letters, 2023). The original Operation Choke Point program was formally terminated by the Department of Justice in 2017, establishing a policy baseline that such broad de-risking campaigns are inappropriate (source: U.S. Department of Justice correspondence to Congress, August 2017). For trading, bank access directly affects USD on/off-ramps, stablecoin mint/redeem capacity, and spot market depth on U.S. venues; after Silvergate and Signature exited in March 2023, U.S.-hour BTC-USD depth declined and spreads widened, reflecting constrained fiat rails (source: Kaiko market structure research, March–April 2023). Supervisory frameworks introduced by the Federal Reserve in August 2023 for “novel activities,” along with stablecoin-related pre-approval expectations for state member banks, increased compliance frictions that influence exchange and issuer banking relationships (source: Federal Reserve announcements on the Novel Activities Supervision Program and stablecoin supervision, August 2023). Traders should monitor committee hearings, subpoenas, or statutory proposals that could alter interagency guidance, as shifts in bank policy have historically impacted BTC and ETH liquidity, stablecoin market share, and U.S. versus offshore basis dynamics (source: U.S. House Committee on Financial Services hearing calendars and memos; Kaiko market structure analyses, 2023).

Bitcoin (BTC) Privacy vs Legitimacy: Arthur Hayes, Midnight Network, and Brave Spotlight Compliance Risks Traders Must Track

According to the source, Arthur Hayes will appear on PrivacyInMotion with Midnight Network and Brave to discuss the trade-off between user privacy and systemic legitimacy and whether Bitcoin is truly private money, as posted on November 10, 2025. Source: the source post dated November 10, 2025. For traders, this theme ties directly to compliance obligations such as the FATF Travel Rule requiring virtual asset service providers to transmit sender and recipient information, which shapes exchange policies and liquidity conditions for privacy features and assets. Source: Financial Action Task Force, Recommendation 16 and related guidance. Bitcoin’s ledger is public and transactions can be linked on-chain, meaning BTC is pseudonymous rather than fully private, a fact that influences how privacy tooling and KYC frameworks interact with trading venues. Source: Bitcoin Whitepaper 2008, Section Privacy. Enforcement against privacy mixers has affected user access routes, exemplified by OFAC’s sanctions on Tornado Cash in 2022, a development traders monitor when assessing counterparty risk and potential flow disruptions.

CFTC’s Caroline Pham Signals Path to Regulated Leveraged Spot Crypto on U.S. Exchanges: What BTC, ETH Traders Should Watch

According to the source, CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham has called for a time-limited CFTC pilot program to support responsible innovation in digital-asset markets, indicating potential avenues for new market structures relevant to leveraged spot crypto trading. Source: CFTC, Statement of Commissioner Caroline D. Pham on the Need for a Time-Limited CFTC Pilot Program (2023). Under existing U.S. rules, leveraged or margined retail spot crypto transactions are treated as retail commodity transactions unless actual delivery occurs within 28 days, which has constrained U.S. exchanges from offering retail margin on assets like BTC and ETH. Source: CFTC, Final Interpretive Guidance on Actual Delivery for Digital Assets (2020). CFTC enforcement, including the 2021 settlement with Kraken over illegal off-exchange margined retail commodity transactions in digital assets, underscores the current limitations on leveraged spot offerings without proper registration or actual delivery. Source: CFTC, Press Release 8470-21 (2021). Traders should monitor the Federal Register and the CFTC public docket for any pilot-program notices, exemptive relief, or rulemakings that could change leverage availability on U.S. spot exchanges and impact BTC and ETH liquidity.
