The Federal Reserve ended its Novel Activities Supervision Program, which focused on "certain crypto and fintech activities in banks." The Board said it will "return to monitoring banks' novel activities through the normal supervisory process."

The FDIC's Inspector General ("OIG") concluded that the agency's program for examining third-party companies providing services to banks lacked clear performance goals and metrics to measure its effectiveness.
