Federal Reserve Eliminates Specific Program to Police Crypto and Fintech Initiative

The Federal Reserve announced it would shut down a new program that had just started two years ago, focused on watching how banks interact with emerging fintech and crypto-based technologies.

The central bank stated that the “novel activities” oversight program is not needed because the Federal Reserve understands the risks and how banks need to manage them, and will be central to its oversight anyway.

Webinar: How Banks and Fintechs Are Building the New Payments Stack

Tuesday, June 30, 2026, 1:00 PM ET

As digital assets move into the mainstream, banks, fintechs, and payment providers are focused on a new challenge: how to build and scale products that deliver real business value.

In this session, Cross River and Fireblocks will explore how leading organizations are bringing digital asset products to market, the infrastructure decisions that shape growth and speed-to-market, and the lessons learned from teams building at scale today. From wallet architecture and custody models to vendor strategy and regulatory considerations, we'll discuss the foundational choices that can accelerate innovation — or create friction down the road.

Whether you're evaluating a new offering or scaling an existing program, you'll leave with a practical framework for understanding how digital asset infrastructure impacts business outcomes.
