Ripple
Ripple scores double victory: AMINA Bank becomes first European bank to adopt Ripple Payments while OCC conditionally approves U.S. trust bank charter, creating transatlantic regulatory framework for RLUSD stablecoin and cross-border payments.
OCC
The OCC confirms U.S. banks can now facilitate crypto transactions as intermediaries. Interpretive Letter 1188 allows 'riskless principal' trades—banks match buyers and sellers without holding crypto on balance sheets. A major step toward regulated digital asset integration.
OCC
The OCC issued new guidance allowing U.S. national banks to hold cryptocurrency on their balance sheets to pay blockchain transaction fees—a practical clarification that removes operational barriers for banks offering digital asset services.
