The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved Circle to obtain a national trust bank charter, allowing Circle to operate at the federal level and reduce reliance on state charters. This move significantly enhances the compliance and reserve transparency of USDC, paving the way for it to become a global financial infrastructure. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire publicly stated that this marks a key step for USDC towards becoming the "underlying technology of the global financial system" and helps meet the new stablecoin regulations introduced in the United States.
The community generally believes that this move will strengthen USDC's market position and institutional trust, with a noticeable increase in social platform engagement. Some analysts point out that under federal regulation, Circle can more easily provide custody services for institutional assets such as ETFs and government bonds, and the market holds an optimistic outlook on the long-term prospects of USDC.
