Ripple wins final US approval for national trust bank
Ripple has received final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB). This move allows the company to operate under federal supervision while managing the reserves for its RLUSD stablecoin and providing digital asset custody services for institutional clients. While the new national trust bank will oversee reserve management and custody, the issuance of the RLUSD stablecoin will continue to be handled by Ripple’s New York-regulated entity.
