OCC’s Similar Approvals for Circle, Ripple, and Others

The approval came after the OCC issued similar conditional approvals two months ago for Circle, Ripple, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos. Coinbase stated that it would not become a bank even if approved. The American Bankers Association demanded that new charters for digital asset companies be delayed until the stablecoin law GENIUS Act is fully implemented.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), linked to the Trump family, made a similar application for the USD1 stablecoin in January and was questioned by Senator Elizabeth Warren. As announced on WLFI’s X account this morning, a coordinated attack against USD1 has been launched. In the last hour, the pair dropped sharply to 0.9924 dollars. This event highlights the risks to stablecoins during the regulatory approval process.
