Stablecoin infrastructure company Agora has received preliminary conditional approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a federally chartered national trust bank. The approval marks a significant regulatory milestone for the firm's expansion into federally supervised banking services. The new charter will place Agora's stablecoin, custody, and trading infrastructure under direct federal oversight. This regulatory framework establishes formal supervision of the company's core digital asset operations at the national level.
