[OCC: The Review Process for WLFI's Bank Charter Application Will Remain Non-Political]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stated that the procedural review of the Trump family's crypto project WLFI's application for a bank charter will not be influenced by any political or personal financial relationships. Anti-crypto Senator Elizabeth Warren had called for a halt to WLFI's national trust bank charter application unless the Trump family divests its shares in WLFI, but the OCC has rejected Warren's request. Jonathan Gould, the Comptroller of the OCC, stated in a letter responding to Warren, 'The OCC intends to fulfill this review responsibility, not to comply with your demands.'
For a long time, cryptocurrency companies have faced difficulties in obtaining U.S. national trust bank charters. However, a breakthrough was achieved last December when the OCC conditionally approved the transformation of five digital asset institutions—Ripple, Circle, Paxos, BitGo, and Fidelity Digital Assets—into federally chartered national trust banks.
