PNC Bank Launches Incoming Stablecoin Payments for Corporate and Institutional Banking Clients
- On Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, Coinbase announced that Coinbase National Trust Company completed its chartering process with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Nov. 6, following preliminary approval in April.
- The company secured this federal license after submitting its application in October 2025 and receiving preliminary approval on April 2, 2026, before completing mandatory organizational preparations required by the OCC.
- Under the charter, the institution will provide institutional digital asset custody services while maintaining at least $60 million in Tier 1 capital and liquid assets sufficient to cover 180 days of operating expenses.
- The Independent Community Bankers of America opposed the regulator's approach, with ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey arguing that crypto firms obtain federal banking status without meeting obligations imposed on traditional insured banks.
- Coinbase plans to transfer its existing custody business to the national trust entity over three years, joining other firms like Ripple that have pursued similar federal trust bank authorizations as the OCC continues its review.
