The US Senate approves Jonathan Gould as the Director of the Office of the Superintendent of the Currency

BlockBeats News: On July 11th, the US Senate confirmed Jonathan Gould's leadership of the Office of the Superintendent of the Currency, adding him to the list of officials in the Trump administration who support relaxing regulations on national lending institutions and supporting cryptocurrency assets. The Senate approved Gould's position with 50 votes in favor and 45 votes against. Gould previously stated that since 2008, banking regulators have sometimes attempted to eliminate risks rather than manage them, which has hindered banks' ability to fulfill their functions. The Office of the Superintendent of the Currency announced earlier this year that it will no longer review the risks associated with banks conducting business with disputed clients. (Golden Ten)
