Senator Bill Hagerty, a Tennessee senator, raised his voice in support of Binance’s search for a US bank partner. According to him, some crypto-related companies are being debanked in the US by banks because of political pressure. The senator referred to the ongoing US regulatory action against crypto space as Operation Chokepoint 2.0 and indicated that the matter would soon come up in Congress. Further, Senator Bill Hagerty stated in his statement.
“Make no mistake, Operation Chokepoint 2.0 represents an extreme overreach by the bank regulators and they should expect to hear back from Congress soon.”
