Bridge, Stripe’s stablecoin-based payments infrastructure platform provider, has received conditional approval from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to arrange a federally chartered national trust bank.
The charter will afford Bridge the ability to operate stablecoin products and services under direct federal oversight, enabling institutions to build on these rails, according to the firm.
Bridge will be granted authorisation to offer custody of digital assets, stablecoin issuance and orchestration, in addition to stablecoin reserve management.
The OCC approval is said to allow the firm to help enterprises, fintechs, crypto businesses, and other financial institutions build with stablecoins inside a federal framework.
