Coinbase Secures Conditional Approval for US Trust Bank Charter #
Coinbase has received conditional approval for a US national trust bank charter, allowing it to expand its regulated services in areas such as digital asset custody. The approval enables the company to operate under a federal framework, subject to meeting specific requirements set by regulators before full authorisation is granted
The development marks a further step in the integration of crypto firms into the traditional financial system. By obtaining a trust bank charter, Coinbase can strengthen its position in serving institutional clients while aligning more closely with regulatory expectations around custody, compliance, and risk management.
