Summary
Trump’s team is considering abolishing key banking regulators, including the FDIC and OCC, with plans to consolidate their functions under the Treasury Department.
Critics warn this could undermine public trust in banking, weaken deposit insurance protections, and risk another financial crisis.
The FDIC, established during the Great Depression, played a crucial role in managing the 2023 banking crisis.

Experts fear these moves could destabilize the economy.
