The U.S. Federal Reserve has pulled back on rules that previously made it harder for banks to work with cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. In a press release published by the agency on Apr. 24, the Federal Reserve said it will no longer require state member banks to give advance notice before launching or participating in crypto-related activities. Instead, these activities will now be reviewed under the usual bank supervision process. This move marks a shift from the Fed’s earlier stance, which called for extra caution due to potential risks tied to digital assets. The Fed also canceled its 2023 guidance that limited how banks could engage with stablecoins, or “dollar tokens.” In addition, the Fed, alongside the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, withdrew from two joint statements made the same year.

By stepping back from these positions, the Fed appears to be opening the door to more bank participation in crypto while still keeping an eye on potential risks through regular oversight. The agency said that it will continue to monitor risks, but the decision is expected to lower compliance burdens and open new doors for bank involvement in the digital asset sector. This policy change follows a wider shift in Washington. In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission rolled back a rule that had forced banks holding crypto to list it as a liability, easing pressure on institutions. The Fed’s latest move comes as the Trump administration continues to position itself as pro-crypto. President Trump has publicly vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet,” signaling that more regulatory changes could be on the way.

Two suspects tied to a South American cargo theft ring were arrested after Los Angeles police recovered over $3.9 million in stolen goods—including $2.7 million worth of Bitcoin mining computers intercepted at LAX. Detectives from the LAPD’s Cargo Theft Unit, working with the Los Angeles Port Police and other agencies, apprehended Oscar David Borrero-Manchola, 41, and Yonaiker Rafael Martinez-Ramos, 25, following an investigation into stolen cargo linked to the South American Theft Group.  The mining equipment was recovered as it was being loaded onto a plane bound for Hong Kong. The seizure highlights the scale and sophistication of ongoing cargo theft operations targeting high-value tech shipments.  Bitcoin (BTC) mining computers, which require significant investment and are often in high demand, have become a growing target for organized theft groups. Authorities also recovered $1.2 million in additional stolen goods, including tequila, electronics, and pet food, from storage units in the San Fernando Valley. Borrero-Manchola was cited and released, while Martinez-Ramos remains in custody on a no-bail warrant. The investigation is ongoing, with officials warning that more arrests may follow as law enforcement continues efforts to safeguard commercial cargo routes.

SHIB 和 XRP 都在测试历史上重要的支撑区域，技术指标暗示动量可能出现转变，因为交易员正在关注关键突破水平以确认趋势逆转。 柴犬 (SHIB) 目前交易价为 0.00001157 美元，位于 0.00001150 美元至 0.00001250 美元的历史重要支撑位区间内。该水平已多次受到考验，并在去年 8 月至 9 月的盘整阶段发挥了主要支撑作用，表明它是买家的重要防线。 尽管整体趋势依然看跌，SHIB 价格低于所有关键移动平均线，但动量指标反映出看跌压力略有减弱。相对强弱指数 (RSI) 徘徊在 42.81 左右，既不超卖也不强劲，表明看跌动能较弱，但仍有反弹空间。RSI 也一直持平，这通常预示着反弹——尤其是在与关键支撑位同时出现时。MACD 柱状图持平，表明抛售压力可能正在减弱。 突破 0.00001212 美元至 0.00001270 美元的阻力位群（该阻力位包含 20 日均线并逼近 50 日均线）将是首个有意义的强势信号。该区间去年曾多次充当支撑位，尤其是在 8 月至 10 月期间，之后被突破并转为阻力位，使其成为一个关键的支撑位转为阻力位区域。一旦突破该阻力位，将为下一个上行目标打开大门，即 0.00001545 美元区域（100 日均线）。 资料来源：TradingView 您可能还喜欢：Coinbase 报告：加密货币价格可能在第二季度末趋于稳定，第三季度可能反弹 瑞波币 (XRP) 目前交易价为 2.0749 美元，这一水平在去年 12 月中下旬起到了支撑作用，随后大幅上涨，到 1 月初达到 3 美元附近的高点。 该价格近期也创下新高，并试图收复20日指数移动平均线（2.1039美元），甚至短暂测试了50日简单移动平均线（2.2375美元），预示着可能出现突破。4月9日，该价格还从200日移动平均线（1.9118美元）反弹，形成强劲看涨走势，当天出现了一根大阳线，成交量也显著飙升。 MACD线近期也突破了信号线，柱状图翻转为绿色——这是一个早期看涨动能信号。RSI位于46.92，尚未超买，这意味着上涨空间充足。 收盘价若突破 2.14-2.23 美元（20 日均线和 50 日均线的交汇点），将强化看涨意愿，并可能触发进一步上涨至 2.48 美元（100 日均线）。同样，分析师 @Dom 在 4 月 13 日 X 的一篇帖子中指出：“2.20 美元是目前唯一的目标价位”，并补充说，若果断突破该水平，可能为迈向 2.50 美元铺平道路。 资料来源：TradingView You might also like:Coin Bureau 首席执行官：Ripple 与 Hidden Road 的交易是加密货币对 TradFi 收购的典型案例
