Circle has received OCC approval to establish Circle National Trust, a federally regulated national trust bank that will oversee USDC reserve backing and provide digital asset custody services. The approval eliminates Circle's dependence on third-party banks for reserve custody and deepens its integration into regulated US finance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build on stablecoin infrastructure, your rails provider just became your competitor. Circle now controls its own custody and reserve layer—any fintech that relies on USDC for settlement now has Circle making the rules on fees, speed, and access.
