Coinbase Ends ‘Operation Choke Point 2.0’ – Signaling New Era of Institutional Integration

Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, formally announced the end of “Operation Choke Point 2.0” on Tuesday. This move marks a significant shift in the regulatory landscape for the crypto industry, signaling the end of a period where digital asset businesses faced severe banking restrictions under this previous policy. Grewal attributed the change to Trump administration deregulation policies that have opened up US financial systems to digital asset firms. This transition suggests that the era of restrictive measures is over and we are entering a new era focused on institutional integration within the digital asset market.
