Overview

US banking groups are urging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to slow or more tightly scrutinize national trust bank charters tied to crypto and stablecoin firms. The push comes as regulators revisit chartering rules and as crypto firms seek deeper access to US banking rails, with industry commenters arguing key policy and risk questions—such as how non-deposit-insured structures should be handled—remain unresolved.
