Fed: Regulate crypto before DeFi, banking meld
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell thinks the crypto industry could cause broader financial turmoil in the future than it has so far, so there’s a need for better regulation, Bloomberg wrote.

Open banking is key to combating fraud

Most consumers trust banks for super apps
The super app shift favors the banks, with decades of experience and long-lived relationships with customers. The super app shift favors the FinTechs, with the ability to innovate in a world that is constantly, and increasingly, going digital. The deciding factor, of course, lies with the consumer. And at least for now, the advantages lie with traditional providers, namely, the banks. PYMNTS.com has the details.

It’s a sign of a growing recognition that the Federal Reserve was right in its earliest assessments of the difficulties of designing and building a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that go far beyond whether it will run on a digital ledger like those that blockchains, cryptocurrencies and especially stablecoins are built or some other technology.

How can banks measure return on experience?
Everyone is familiar with return-on-investment, but at times that may not be the best or only thing a bank or company should measure. A panel at the Bank Customer Experience Summit discussed how banks can measure return on experience. ATM Marketplace has the details.

How does identity crime affect victims?
The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) has published research that shows nearly 40 percent of ITRC victims say their personal information was stolen, compromised or misused in the past year. Help Net Security has the details.
