Agora Wins OCC Approval to Move AUSD Issuance to US Trust Bank

This is a structural shift, not just a licensing headline: moving AUSD issuance into a US trust bank puts reserves and minting under direct federal oversight, which is the terrain stablecoin issuers have been maneuvering toward. It matters most for Agora's institutional and payment partners, who typically weigh regulatory posture as heavily as the token itself. The approval is conditional, so the real test is whether the bank satisfies its capital, liquidity and compliance requirements and actually opens — until then, the Bermuda entity remains the operative issuer.
