Crypto.com Secures Conditional Approval for National Trust Bank Charter

Crypto.com has made a major breakthrough in its efforts to expand its financial services offerings with conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter a national trust bank.

This move brings Crypto.com one step closer to providing customers with trusted and secure services under a gold standard of federal oversight, according to Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of the company.

The conditional approval from the OCC marks a significant milestone for Crypto.com, which joins a growing list of digital asset firms that received similar approvals last year. Firms such as Ripple, Circle, Paxos, and Fidelity Investments also received conditional approval in December 2025, while BitGo secured full approval to convert its state trust company into a national trust bank.
