World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture co-founded by President Donald Trump, has received conditional approval for a national trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

The approval, announced Friday afternoon by the agency, allows World Liberty to move forward in building a trust bank for issuing its USD1 stablecoin despite prior opposition from lawmakers and bank trade groups. It is the latest in a series of bank charter approvals the OCC has given out to fintechs and digital asset firms this year.

"This is big enough news that not even a Friday in August announcement can obscure it," Klaros Group co-founder Michele Alt told American Banker. "Observers will be scouring the WLF application and approval and comparing them to the recent OCC denials of Wise and Bunq. The comparisons among the proposed banks' capitalizations, management teams, regulatory histories and paths to profitability will be very interesting."

The review process for World Liberty's national trust charter application took a total of 221 days, nearly twice as long as the 120 days that Trump-appointed Comptroller Jonathan Gould had previously advertised his agency would spend reviewing charter applicants.
