▌Federal Reserve Board member Bowman: supports Federal Reserve staff holding a small amount of cryptocurrency. Federal Reserve Board member Bowman stated that staff should be allowed to hold a small amount of cryptocurrency products, believing that experience will help them better conduct regulatory work in these financial markets. Bowman indicated that easing restrictions on employee investments could also help attract and retain skilled bank examiners, and that a "minimal" holding of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets would help employees gain real understanding of these products. "Nothing can replace hands-on experience and understanding the processes of holding and transferring crypto assets," she stated in a prepared speech at a cryptocurrency conference in Wyoming. Bowman did not disclose specific information such as the specific amounts or types of holdings she was considering, but her remarks again indicated that the regulatory environment under the Trump administration is becoming more favorable towards the cryptocurrency space.
