- The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) granted preliminary approval on Friday for a national trust bank, subject to certain regulatory and policy requirements.
- World Liberty Financial was launched in 2024 by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and several partners.
- The review drew concern from lawmakers and watchdogs over possible conflicts of interest, while Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the approval as an especially brazen act of self-dealing.
- Reuters reported that, if finalized, the charter could allow WLF to issue USD1 directly and custody the underlying US dollar assets currently handled by BitGo.
this is the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen.— Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator (D-MA) and top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, in a social media post reacting to the OCC's decision.
