Three Stablecoin Firms Win Conditional OCC Trust Bank Charters

  • —Bastion, Catena and Agora won conditional OCC trust bank charters
  • —The banks cannot launch until final regulatory requirements are met
  • —Agora plans to move reserves backing its AUSD stablecoin into a new bank
  • —A $1 billion reserve base at 4% would yield about $40 million a year
Why it matters: Federal oversight of stablecoin reserves is deepening, though the approvals do not by themselves prove new demand for XRP.
