On July 11, the U.S. Senate confirmed Jonathan Gould to lead the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, adding him to the list of Trump administration officials who support easing regulations on national lending institutions and support crypto assets. The Senate approved Gould's position with 50 votes in favor and 45 votes against.
Gould previously stated that since 2008, bank regulators have sometimes tried to eliminate risk rather than manage it, which has hindered banks' ability to perform their functions. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced earlier this year that it would no longer review the risks banks face from doing business with controversial customers.
