The rule would enable consumers to securely share their banking information with financial technology companies, digital asset exchanges, and other third-party service providers of their choosing. Without clear open banking rules, large banks could restrict consumer access to digital asset platforms and other innovative financial services for political reasons.\n\n\u201cLarge banks have shown they\u2019ll restrict access for political reasons, targeting industries and individuals they disagree with, including gun manufacturers, digital assets, churches, and even President Trump,\u201d wrote Lummis. \u201cWe cannot empower the opponents of digital assets to rewrite the rules in their favor, stifle innovation, and increase costs. Throwing up barriers would drive entrepreneurs overseas and weaken America\u2019s leadership in financial technology.\u201d\n\nA full copy of the letter can be found here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.lummis.senate.gov/press-releases/lummis-supports-open-banking-rule-highlights-necessity-for-digital-assets/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0622800327837467, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
