Post by: hendra147 on April 14, 2016, 03:37:24 AM
Comptroller of the Currency Thomas J. Curry, who heads an independent department in charge of supervising all U.S. national banks, stated in a speech April 7 at the American Banker Retail Banking Conference that "it's important that regulators are open to the changes that are underway in both technology and business practices," according to prepared remarks shared with Bitcoin Magazine .

The comptroller signalled a shift in attitudes toward fintech regulations, an umbrella term used to describe companies or services that use a combination of finance and technology, with Bitcoin being the most prominent example.
