US President Donald Trump has formally nominated Travis Hill, acting chairperson of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as the official chairperson of the bank regulator. Hill still needs to be confirmed by the US Senate. He has been supportive of cryptocurrency policy and has firmly opposed the "debanking" trend that has previously prevailed in the US crypto industry.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普正式提名联邦存款保险公司(FDIC)代理主席Travis Hill,担任该银行监管机构的正式主席。Hill仍需获得美国参议院的确认。他一直以来对加密货币政策持支持态度,并坚决反对此前在美国加密行业中盛行的“去银行化”(debanking)趋势。
The White House said Travis Hill serves as acting chairperson of the board of directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In a recent public speech, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Vice Chairperson Travis Hill criticized the FDIC's stance on digital assets and called on banking regulators to issue new digital asset guidelines. Hill, who was appointed to the board by Republicans two years ago, criticized the FDIC's role in pressuring banks to give up crypto customers. "The FDIC's long-term goal is to reduce the number of people who are unbanked," he said.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded to Travis Bloom's proposal to add the ability to send USDC over the Base network to the X platform. He said it would be a great feature and suggested discussing it with the X team. Jesse Pollak, head of protocols at Base, also retweeted the tweet.
