Crypto.com has applied for a national trust bank charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). This move, reported on October 24, marks a significant step for the cryptocurrency platform as it seeks to expand its financial services in the United States. The application, if approved, would allow Crypto.com to operate as a federally regulated financial institution, potentially broadening its service offerings and enhancing its credibility in the financial sector.
