It's great to hear that at least one banking association has spoken positively about cryptocurrency. Because in most of the other countries, banking lobby is constantly pushing the government to impose a blanket ban on cryptos. In my monthly newsletter I received from my bank, inevitably mentions about the high risk of cryptocurrency and 10 reason why should everyone avoid it.
So it's really great to know at least smart bankers are thinking out-of-the-box and talking about the benefits of crypto adoption.
My bank is pro-cryptocurrencies, and have received at least one newsletter regarding bitcoin and the future of cryptocurrencies. I just hope they don't change their stance once they see that it could literally phase out their business model, although I have reason to believe that they will just introduce another crypto service integrated on top of their current banking services, and it shouldn't hurt what they're currently offering right now.

ABA has their eyes set on the positives of crypto while the rest of the banks in the industry are persecuting crypto as if they're a spawn of the devil. If a banking association sees good in crypto, it means that there really is worth noting on the new tech that can be utilized by a lot of people, even if that in itself contradicts their business model.
