Circle clears final OCC hurdle as US bank charter race accelerates

The OCC has signed off on Circle's national trust bank charter, ending a regulatory marathon and giving USDC a direct line into the plumbing of US payments. The ruling tilts the field against smaller issuers just as Wall Street moves on tokenised deposits.

*Desk note: Monexus is covering Circle's charter as a banking-architecture story, not a crypto-price story. The relevant frame is who gets to mint dollar claims at scale and under which supervisor — the question that has shaped US payments since 1913. CryptoBriefing's wire supplied the trigger; the structural analysis above is Monexus's own.
