Lead: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said it will keep prioritizing the revival of de novo bank chartering, opening a federal on-ramp for crypto firms to become national banks. Comptroller Jonathan V. Gould said entities engaged in legally permissible activities, including digital assets, should have a path to a national bank charter. The agency has received 40 de novo charter applications in the last 18 months, including for national trust banks, and has ruled within 120 days in many cases. Section 1: "A new on-ramp for crypto banks" - The OCC's stance is a shift from years of dormancy. From 2011 to 2014, the agency averaged fewer than four charter applications a year, sometimes none. Now, crypto companies are lining up. Ripple, Circle, Crypto.com, and Paxos have all received conditional approval for bank charters. World Liberty Financial, a Trump-backed DeFi platform, has applied for a charter to promote its stablecoin USD1. Section 2: "The first full-service approval in five years" - Erebor Bank, N.A., backed by Palmer Luckey, Joe Lonsdale, and Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, became the first full-service national bank to receive final approval in five years. That's a concrete sign the OCC is actually moving applications, not just talking about it. Section 3: "Coinbase's charter hangs in the balance" - Coinbase's application for a national trust bank charter remains under review. If approved, it would serve as a federal crypto custodian. But the Independent Community Bankers of America urged the OCC to reject it, citing "demonstrably flawed risk and control functions" and governance issues. The American Bankers Association also asked the agency to slow its review of crypto companies' charter applications. Section 4: "Banks push back on stablecoin rewards" - Traditional banks are objecting to stablecoin rewards offered by crypto firms, calling them unfair and warning they could erode their deposit base. That tension is now part of the charter debate, as the OCC weighs whether to let more crypto firms into the banking system. End: The OCC has shown it can move quickly — many applications ruled on within 120 days. But Coinbase's review is still open, and the banking industry is pushing back hard. Whether the agency approves it will signal just how
