Ripple Gets Final OCC Approval for Trust Bank Backing RLUSD
Ripple has received final approval from the OCC for a federally supervised trust bank. The bank will manage reserves for the RLUSD stablecoin, which has about $2.6 billion in circulation, and offer custody services. Traders may watch this as a sign of tighter oversight for stablecoin reserves, even as banking groups challenge crypto charters in court.
Why it matters
- Final OCC approval means the trust bank has cleared its last regulatory step.
- The bank will handle RLUSD reserves, which ties the stablecoin to a supervised institution.
- Banking groups are fighting crypto charters in court, so the legal outcome remains uncertain.
What to watch next
Watch for any court ruling on the banking groups' challenge to crypto charters, since it could affect trust banks like this one.
