Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly examining the changes to the federal banking regulatory framework in collaboration with the recently established Department of Government Efficiency (<a href="https://x.com/DOGE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a>). The proposals, which could reshape the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), have raised concerns.&nbsp;
Prominent figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy led DOGE aims to simplify government operations by reducing overabundance and cutting costs. Moreover, it focuses on the examination of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinbase-calls-out-fdic-for-restricting-crypto-banking-access/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FDIC</a> functions, notably deposit insurance, which could be involved in the Treasury Department.&nbsp;
However, any such eliminations or restructuring of agencies like the FDIC and OCC would require congressional approval. Despite the Republican control of the chambers, the expected opposition from Democrats and the slim majority might put forward certain significant obstacles to implementing such extensive changes.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-financial-stability-of-fdic">Financial Stability of FDIC&nbsp;</h3>
The FDIC, established during the Great Depression, has been regarded as a foundation of U.S. financial stability. By insuring deposits up to $250,000, it reinforces consumer confidence in the banking system. It also reduces the risks of bank runs. Besides, the critics of the proposed changes argue that eliminating or altering the FDIC could undermine this trust.&nbsp;
Furthermore, Trump <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/donald-trump-administration-looks-to-expand-cftcs-role-in-crypto-oversight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">advisers</a> have also initiated scaling back regulations on consumer protections and capital requirements. While the banking executives are optimistic about the easing of regulations, they regard deposit insurance as an essential factor. Any of the identified threats toward <a href="https://x.com/FDICgov" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FDIC</a> could trigger financial instability, specifically in a time of crisis.
Major alterations to banking regulation and agency structures are historically rare and likely to occur in the repercussions of financial crises. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation itself was brought in response to the broad bank failures during the Great Depression.
