4. Well it's not just him but others on the "Board"

who will eventually be 45-appointees (although I know 45 - and I refuse to call him "47" - wants to get rid of the CFPB, whose head would be a member, but that would require Congress to do it).

One thing to also keep in mind as an example, is that before crypto's FTX failed, they were warned about misleading customers about FDIC insurance for their customers - https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/19/crypto-firm-ftx-receives-cease-and-desist-from-fdic-about-insurance.html

When FTX failed and took down a handful of Regional Banks with it, the FTX customers were out but the Regionals were covered by the FDIC like SVB.

With that, there were calls to increase the max insurance coverage, so that type of thing might factor in when it comes to 45's minions wanting to completely eliminate the FDIC (or any regulatory authority).

But in the meantime, what is seemingly the next big thing to happen with the new administration - FDIC At A Crossroads: Debanking, Crypto, And The Fight For Reform since they have gone "all in" with crypto.
