06:07 AM EDT, 08/05/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The White House is preparing an executive order that aims to prevent lenders' discrimination against conservatives and cryptocurrency companies, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing a draft of the order.

According to the report, the order directs bank regulators to look into financial institutions' potential violation of antitrust laws, consumer financial protection laws, or the Equal Credit Opportunity and violations could lead to fines or other disciplinary actions.

Sources told the news outlet that the order could be signed within this week.

The White House did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
