OCC BANK CHARTER RACE IGNITES

Laser Digital, Nomura's crypto arm, is going for a national bank trust charter with the OCC. This move bypasses state licensing hurdles. Expect spot crypto trading from this Swiss-based entity. It's a massive play in the accelerating wave of crypto firms seeking federal banking licenses. This is not a drill. The regulatory landscape is shifting FAST. World Liberty Financial, Revolut, and even Ford and GM are making moves. Palmer Luckey's Anduril already got a green light for its bank. Jonathan Gould at the OCC is accelerating approvals. This follows Circle, Ripple, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity getting conditional charters. Legislation is stalled. Companies are finding workarounds. The game has changed.
