Trump-Backed Crypto Venture Wins Conditional Approval for National Trust Bank
World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture backed by President Donald Trump and his family, has received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank.
The proposed bank would have a narrower remit than a conventional commercial bank, focusing on trust and custody services and stablecoin-related activities rather than accepting deposits or making loans.
World Liberty will still need to meet conditions set by the OCC and pass a final examination before the bank can begin operating.
