Approval reported; lawmakers flag concerns
News reports surface of the first-ever bank charter for a sitting president's family-owned company, with Democratic lawmakers expressing conflict-of-interest concerns.
OCC publishes conditional charter approval
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency publishes a letter granting World Liberty Trust Co. conditional approval to establish a bank charter and issue a U.S. dollar-linked stablecoin.
The OCC's conditional grant to a company 38% owned by a Trump-affiliated entity is the first bank charter for a sitting president's family-owned business. Legal professionals face a new conflict-of-interest and regulatory-independence precedent likely to attract oversight or litigation.
For market participants, the OCC's approval allows Trump-linked World Liberty Trust to issue dollar stablecoins directly, enhancing margins and access to institutional clients after an early $5B valuation. The move cuts out BitGo and creates a regulated banking channel.
Crypto founders and DeFi operators now face a politically connected trust authorized to issue dollar-backed stablecoins under a national bank charter, bypassing incumbent custodian BitGo. The move may accelerate stablecoin adoption while tying the sector closer to federal oversight.
