最新报道:Crypto firms are increasingly applying for national bank licenses in the U.S. to streamline operations under a single federal regulator, but traditional banks are raising concerns about regulatory gaps and risks. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted limited-purpose charters to several crypto companies, allowing them to operate across states without individual approvals. However, banking groups argue these charters may not ensure the same level of oversight as full banking licenses, potentially exposing consumers to higher risks. The debate highlights tensions as digital asset firms push for mainstream financial integration while incumbents call for stricter safeguards.
