How the GAO is ‘Tipping’ the FDIC About Crypto…or Should We Panic?
GAO’s job is not to sit in the front seats of crypto regulation. Imagine someone who shows up to a film set to critique the director’s lighting choices but never actually touches the camera. That’s the GAO. A recommendation doesn’t roll out a new law overnight, nor does it outrage a crypto entrepreneur with a notice. Still, a gentle push from the GAO’s desk can work its way into policy, especially when stablecoins sit at the crossroads of banking risk.
