Biden Plans to Appoint Crypto Opponent to Head OCC

Omarova said she was going to “end the current banking system,” but also spoke out against cryptocurrencies.

Omarova has criticized both the traditional banking system and cryptocurrencies. According to her, digital assets “basically play into the hands of the inefficient financial system that we have today.” 


She has repeatedly stated that cryptocurrencies threaten the financial stability of the United States. In addition, large private financial companies may abuse cryptocurrencies to manipulate the market and gain profit.
