Coinbase Secures Conditional OCC Approval for U.S. National Trust Charter

Coinbase has received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for a national trust company charter. The federal license would allow the exchange to provide crypto custody services nationwide, reducing regulatory friction for large-scale institutional participation. The charter would also position Coinbase to expand into issuing its own stablecoins and tokenized securities (RWA). If fully approved, it would strengthen the company's standing as a federally regulated participant in the U.S. financial system.
