Which US banks are verified to be crypto friendly and ok receiving large incoming wires from regulated exchanges?

[PinkCat]

I'm not an US citizen but was able to obtain couple real bank accounts there because of a business i've setup there. (They opened the personal accounts together with the business one)
Now even that was hard and required insider contact, for example when I walked in BoA without being introduced first, they told me that I can use my business visa just to take pictures with it (basically) and sent me away 🙂
However, opening those was cumbersome and obviosly required me to fly there personally, which is a long flight from Europe, so I'm very careful with the good standing of those accounts, and given the regulatory hostility lately against crypto in the US I'm hesitant to put them to the test with 7 figure amounts.

So 2 questions:
1. Are there any US banks that are known/tested by people here to be ok with large incoming wires from regulated crypto exchanges like Kraken for example?
2. How should you develop your accounts given the case above, should you start with regular 5 figure incoming wires every week/month and double it like every month or what pattern should make it more smooth?

Try Arival Bank - Banking beyond borders (I like them, but YMMV)
or FV Bank - Enterprise Banking for Fintech and Blockchain Companies (with extreme caution. They are NOT FDIC insured. They are in Puerto Rico). Have you ever been? If negative, please go there on vacation first and then make an informed decision. It works for me, but I use it only to avoid getting blacklisted on "good banks". 😉

The following articles may be of use to you. Some of the banks have gone bankrupt or close or no longer in existence. Please DYOR:

I've done it by doing 3 digits, then 4 digits, then 5 digits etc etc. You get the point.

Good luck!

Arival bank high onboarding fees but very easy to deal with. Keep in mind every transactions requires invoices / agreements but they are very chill.
Mercury <- up to a million no problem as well.
