OCC Grants Conditional Trust Charters to Ripple, Circle, BitGo on December 12, 2025

On December 12, 2025, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency conditionally approved national trust bank charters for Ripple, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, Paxos, and Circle. The move advances regulatory onboarding for crypto custody and payments, potentially opening more direct access to U.S. banking rails once conditions are met. No executive statements were posted at that time.
