At a recent blockchain policy summit, the head of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency dropped a warning that's got the industry talking. Jonathan Gould made it clear: if regulators slam the door on national trust banks getting involved with digital assets, we're essentially killing innovation before it has a chance to breathe. His message? Overly restrictive policies could push America's financial institutions to the sidelines while other countries race ahead in the crypto space. The stakes are high—banks want clarity, innovators need room to build, and regulators are walking a tightrope between protection and progress.
