Ripple has followed Circle in looking to be its own bank after Congress moved ahead with a bill to regulate stablecoin issuers under the national bank regulator.
Crypto firm Ripple Labs is applying for a banking license in the US, following a similar move by stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group as crypto firms look to be regulated to deepen ties with traditional finance.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse wrote to X on Wednesday that the company is applying for a license with the US national bank regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), confirming an earlier report from The Wall Street Journal.
“True to our long-standing compliance roots, Ripple is applying for a national bank charter from the OCC,” he wrote.
