Crypto.com Seeks National Trust Bank Charter in U.S., Aiming for Federal Oversight
Crypto.com has filed an application with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a National Trust Bank Charter, a strategic move to secure federal recognition. The charter WOULD enable the exchange to expand its regulated services, including custody and staking technology, across multiple blockchains.
The company highlights the potential to serve as a trusted custodian for digital asset treasuries, ETFs, and institutional investors under federal oversight. CEO Kris Marszalek frames the application as a natural evolution of Crypto.com's commitment to compliance and security.
