"Push for Expanded FDIC Coverage Gains Momentum Among US Officials and Banks"
TL;DR Summary
US Treasury officials are exploring ways to temporarily expand FDIC coverage to all deposits, using emergency authority to insure deposits above the current $250,000 cap on accounts without the consent of Congress. The Exchange Stabilization Fund is being considered as a legal framework for expanding FDIC insurance. While authorities do not see such a move as a necessity yet, they are still developing a strategy out of due diligence in case the situation worsens.
