US EditionZeroHash Applies for National Trust Bank Charter to Expand Regulated Stablecoin Services
If approved, ZeroHash would issue stablecoins and manage digital assets under federal oversight, enhancing services for clients like Morgan Stanley and Stripe.
- Yesterday, zerohash announced it had applied to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a National Trust Bank Charter and published the filing for public review.
- To unify its regulatory footprint, zerohash applied for an OCC national trust bank charter, building on its existing licensing stack and global footprint across the U.S. and abroad.
- If approved, the charter would allow zerohash to issue stablecoins, custody digital assets and manage reserves under federal oversight but would prohibit customer deposits and commercial lending; zerohash accounts lack FDIC and SIPC protections.
- The company frames the charter as meeting institutional demand for regulated infrastructure, powering partners like Morgan Stanley, Interactive Brokers, Stripe and Franklin Templeton as a natural next step to expand its product offering.
- Zerohash is joining a recent wave of firms seeking national trust charters, following approvals for Stripe's Bridge, Crypto.com, Circle, Ripple, Paxos, Fidelity Digital Assets and BitGo, aligning with the GENIUS Act.
