Crypto.com Secures Conditional Approval for National Trust Bank License
- Crypto.com received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to pursue a national trust bank license.
- The approval allows Crypto.com to provide asset custody and staking under federal oversight, bypassing state regulations.
- Kris Marszalek, CEO, emphasized this as a testament to their compliance commitment.
- The firm applied for this charter in October 2025, planning to operate as Crypto.com National Trust Bank once fully authorized.
- This move aligns with other digital asset firms like Ripple and Circle seeking federal banking status.
- The OCC has recently eased restrictions on banks dealing with digital assets, allowing them to buy and sell crypto for customers.
Crypto.com’s conditional approval marks a significant step towards offering federally supervised financial services, aligning with industry trends where firms like Ripple and Circle seek similar statuses.
