Revolut and OpenReserve received preliminary approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish national banks focused on cryptocurrency and stablecoin services, with Revolut planning a Connecticut-based bank and OpenReserve a Utah entity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for new US crypto banking standards as Revolut and OpenReserve secure national charters enabling direct stablecoin and crypto asset services. This opens a regulatory pathway for crypto-native banks to challenge existing intermediaries and reshapes compliance needs.
