[OCC: 9 Major U.S. Banks Imposed Restrictions on Crypto and Other Industries] The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released preliminary investigation findings, stating that between 2020 and 2023, nine of the largest U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, imposed restrictive measures on 'politically sensitive' sectors such as the crypto industry. The OCC noted that these banks' practices, such as restricting account openings based on the nature of customers' businesses, constituted improper discriminatory treatment. Some banks attributed their restrictions on crypto companies to considerations of financial crime. The OCC stated that the investigation is ongoing and may later refer findings to the Department of Justice. Analysts pointed out that the report did not mention the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)'s previous directive for banks to distance themselves from the crypto industry.
