ZeroHash applies for national trust bank charter to expand regulated stablecoin services

A charter would allow ZeroHash to operate under a single federal framework, rather than state-by-state rules and offer services aligned with recent legislation.

What to know:

  • ZeroHash, a Chicago-based crypto company, applied for a National Trust Bank Charter from the OCC, seeking federal oversight for its stablecoin and digital asset services.
  • A charter would allow ZeroHash to operate under a single federal framework rather than state-by-state rules, and offer services aligned with recent legislation.
  • ZeroHash follows other firms like Stripe, Crypto.com, and Circle Internet in receiving similar approvals.

ZeroHash, which develops behind-the-scenes crypto infrastructure for businesses, said it applied for a National Trust Bank Charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), looking to operate under federal regulatory oversight.

If approved, the charter would give ZeroHash permission to issue stablecoins, custody digital assets and manage reserves under direct federal oversight. It would not be allowed to take customer deposits or engage in commercial lending.

That status could allow the Chicago-based company, which already holds licenses in 51 U.S. jurisdictions and operates internationally, to expand its stablecoin and digital asset services under a single federal framework, rather than navigating a patchwork of state-by-state rules.

ZeroHash is following a path forged by a number of other crypto companies. In the past month, several firms have received initial approval for national bank trust charters. These include Stripe’s stablecoin firm Bridge and cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com. In December, Circle Internet (CRCL), Ripple, Paxos, Fidelity Digital Assets and BitGo all received similar approvals.

Founded in 2017, ZeroHash's platform enables companies to embed stablecoins and digital asset functionality into services like payments, trading and payroll.

Clients include financial heavyweights like Morgan Stanley, Interactive Brokers, Stripe and Franklin Templeton.

In practical terms, a federal trust charter would let ZeroHash offer services that align with recent legislative developments, including provisions in the Genius Act, which clarifies the legal treatment of stablecoins in the U.S.

The OCC is now reviewing the application. No timeline for approval has been given.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
