FDIC Refutes Claims of Cryptocurrency-Related Requirements for Signature Bank Acquisition

In response to a recent Reuters report, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has refuted claims that any potential acquirer of Signature Bank would be compelled to relinquish its cryptocurrency-related operations.
