World Liberty Financial Applies for OCC Charter to Launch Stablecoin Trust Bank
World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company with strong connections to former President Donald Trump and his family, has applied for a national trust bank charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). If approved, the charter would allow the company to operate World Liberty Trust Company, a federally chartered entity focused on the issuance, custody, and conversion of its USD1 stablecoin. The trust bank aims to serve institutional clients and provide integrated services under a single supervised body, emphasizing institutional-grade compliance and risk management. This move aligns with the regulatory framework established by the GENIUS Act and reflects the shifting political and regulatory landscape under the Trump administration, which has shown increased flexibility toward cryptocurrency operations.
