According to Cointelegraph, a recent report from the Cato Institute reveals that government pressure is the primary cause of debanking cases in the United States, rather than individual bank policies. Nicholas Anthony, an analyst at the Cato Institute, outlined in his report that debanking can occur in several forms: religious or political, operational, or government-driven. The report highlights that while media narratives often attribute account closures to political or religious discrimination, the majority of these cases are actually due to governmental influence. Anthony elaborated that governmental debanking is the most significant issue, with many instances where government officials have intervened in the banking sector, either directly or indirectly, to dictate how banks should operate. This has particularly impacted crypto firms, which have faced account closures and denials of banking services for years. Many in the industry speculate that these actions are part of a policy-driven effort to suppress the digital assets sector, especially under the Biden administration. The report identifies two forms of government debanking: direct, where a government uses letters or court orders to mandate account closures, and indirect, where regulations and legislation are employed to force such closures. An example of direct action is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation sending letters to financial institutions instructing them to cease crypto-related activities, effectively serving as termination orders without follow-up. In December, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon denied debanking customers based on religious or political affiliations during an interview, asserting that both Democrats and Republicans have pressured banks to debank individuals. This statement followed accusations from Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, and Houston Morgan from ShapeShift, who claimed their accounts were closed without explanation. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has attempted to address debanking through executive orders and by appointing pro-crypto leaders to agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, Anthony argues that Congress must take further action by reforming the Bank Secrecy Act, repealing confidentiality laws, and ending reputational risk regulation. He believes these steps would reduce debanking incentives, expose its prevalence, and eliminate tools used by the government to pressure financial institutions. Anthony emphasizes the need for transparency and reform to alleviate the debanking phenomenon and protect financial institutions from undue governmental influence.

According to Cointelegraph, viewership of cryptocurrency-related content on YouTube has plummeted to its lowest level since January 2021, following a significant decline over the past three months. On Sunday, ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen shared a 30-day moving average of views across various crypto YouTube channels, highlighting the drop. He noted that the decline is not limited to YouTube, as similar engagement falls have been observed across crypto channels on the microblogging platform X. Crypto YouTuber Tom Crown commented that the decline has been noticeable since October, emphasizing that the market has been in a 'bear market' since 2021, never reaching previous highs. Bitcoin investor Polaris XBT remarked that the current levels of social interest are akin to bear market conditions. This trend supports the notion that institutions have been the primary drivers of the market cycle, with retail investors taking a back seat. YouTube content creator Jesus Martinez echoed this sentiment, stating that while he experienced intense peaks in his channel's growth since 2022, none compared to the highs of 2021. TikTok content creator Cloud9 Markets attributed the decline to scams and pump-and-dump schemes involving 'ponzi' altcoins, noting that retail investors are weary of losses. Cointelegraph's head of social media, Marc Shawn Brown, observed that retail investors have likely shifted their focus to precious metals and macroeconomic trends, seeking tangible returns rather than speculative stories. He noted that 2025 was challenging, with Bitcoin experiencing a -7% return, while palladium, rhodium, cobalt, silver, and gold outperformed. Despite the downturn, there are signs of stabilization in social sentiment. On-chain analytics platform Santiment reported that sentiment towards Bitcoin is becoming increasingly positive, with mild signs of reversal in the market's bleeding. The platform highlighted the importance of the $90,000 level for maintaining positive retail sentiment. In contrast, sentiment towards Ethereum appears scattered, with no consistent trends emerging at present.
