Updated: Jan 09 2026- Trust Bank Application: Co-founders of World Liberty Financial, including the Trump family and Witkoff, are applying for an OCC national trust bank charter, aiming to further integrate the USD1 stablecoin into financial services, which is expected to significantly enhance its position in institutional finance.
- Market Expansion Potential: The USD1 stablecoin currently has a circulation of $3.3 billion, and obtaining a national trust charter could facilitate its use in cross-border payments, driving market integration and improving regulatory frameworks.
- Regulatory Clarity Enhancement: Analysts note that acquiring a trust charter would provide USD1 with regulatory clarity, promoting compliance in the digital asset space, thereby boosting market confidence and stability.
- Institutional Adoption Outlook: The OCC has previously granted national trust charters to digital asset firms, and successful precedents suggest that this move could enhance USD1's institutional adoption and operational integrity, strengthening its competitiveness in the rapidly evolving stablecoin market.
