币界网报道：Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has formally requested federal oversight of its dollar-pegged cryptocurrency infrastructure under U.S. banking regulations. The company submitted an application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) seeking to establish a national trust bank that would provide clearer regulatory compliance for USDC reserves and operations. CEO Jeremy Allaire emphasized this move would enhance transparency and trust in stablecoins amid growing regulatory scrutiny. If approved, Circle would become one of the first crypto-native companies to operate under a federal banking charter, potentially setting a precedent for other stablecoin issuers. The application comes as global regulators increase focus on stablecoin oversight following Terra's collapse.
