The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has called on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to improve coordination with other federal agencies in regulating blockchain technology. In a letter to FDIC Chairman Travis Hill, the GAO highlighted the challenges regulators face in overseeing blockchain-based financial products, which have been placed on the GAO's "high-risk list." The GAO emphasized the need for a sustained coordination mechanism to address these risks, noting that the absence of such a system was identified as early as 2023. The GAO also recommended that the FDIC rotate case managers assigned to banks to enhance oversight and maintain regulatory independence. This suggestion follows findings in 2024 that the FDIC had not mandated such rotations, potentially affecting regulatory outcomes. The recent collapses of Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank, shortly after FTX's bankruptcy in 2023, have intensified scrutiny over regulatory actions in the financial sector.
