TREE NEWS update: World Liberty Financial, backed by the Trump family, has received preliminary approval from the OCC for a national trust bank charter. This marks a significant regulatory milestone for the crypto platform, potentially expanding its custodial and asset management capabilities.
Trump-backed World Liberty Financial gets preliminary OCC national trust bank approval
AI take
A national trust charter reframes a politically connected crypto platform as a regulated fiduciary rather than a crypto-native venue, which matters less for what World Liberty can do today than for what counterparties it can court. Custody and asset management sit closest to institutional and RWA flows, where trust-bank status is often the gating item. The open question is whether preliminary approval converts to a final charter, and whether that becomes a template other crypto firms pursue.
