  The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 primarily focused on separating commercial and investment banking activities to prevent conflicts of interest and protect depositors. As such, it did not directly impact the regulation of digital currencies, as they did not exist at that time. However, the Act's principles of separating different types of financial activities and protecting consumers have influenced modern financial regulations, including those related to digital currencies. Regulators today draw upon the spirit of the Glass-Steagall Act to establish frameworks for overseeing digital currencies and ensuring consumer protection.
