Brian Moynihan suggests U.S. banks are ready to integrate cryptocurrency payments if clear regulatory frameworks are established.
- Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, stated that U.S. banks could adopt cryptocurrency payments once regulatory guidelines are clarified.
- Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Moynihan emphasized that crypto payments could function like existing systems such as Visa or Apple Pay.
- The integration of cryptocurrencies into banking would depend on stable, non-anonymous, and verified transaction frameworks, according to Moynihan.
