- Bridge, a stablecoin platform under Stripe, received conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
- This approval allows Bridge to operate as a federally chartered national trust bank with direct federal oversight.
- Once fully approved, Bridge plans to expand its stablecoin operations across the United States.
- The company is set to comply with new U.S. legislation on stablecoins, enhancing regulatory certainty.
