Crypto.com Seeks OCC National Trust Charter to Boost U.S. Institutional Crypto Custody Services

Crypto.com, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has officially submitted an application for a National Trust Bank Charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This strategic move aims to significantly expand its institutional custody services for digital assets across the United States. Obtaining this federal charter would allow Crypto.com to operate uniformly nationwide, enhancing its ability to serve U.S. financial institutions and large-scale investors with secure, regulated custody solutions for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This development underscores the growing institutional adoption of digital currencies and the increasing need for compliant financial infrastructure in the crypto sector.
