I would disagree that Nov of last year is very old news.
The story is from October. Almost four months ago. In cryptocurrency terms, that is a very long time.
Additionally, how do you know that this is not an effort to stem a bank run?
When Chase will accept an unlimited amount of cash as a deposit, and then restrict that same client to amounts of $50,000 being withdrawn......I would say "read between the lines". They are trying to prevent a bank run.
They will allow you to withdraw whatever you want, as long as you pay for a more premium account.
I would say that is a way of screwing more fees out of their customers.
Perhaps if you got your news from a slightly less biased site?
