BPI believes this move is illegal and has led to regulatory unfairness. Opposing voices include the Banking Association and state regulators, who argue that this measure could bypass traditional regulation. The OCC has approved licenses for multiple crypto companies, but this has sparked controversy, especially with applications from companies related to the Trump family drawing congressional scrutiny. If the lawsuit succeeds, it could impact the compliance status of crypto companies and the regulatory framework.
