Analysis: Why Ripple and Circle’s Applications to Become Banks Are So Significant

Analysis: Why Ripple and Circle’s Applications to Become Banks Are So Significant

According to ChainCatcher, as reported by DL News, two major stablecoin issuers in the cryptocurrency sector, Ripple and Circle, have both applied for a U.S. national trust bank license. If approved, this move would subject them to federal regulation and bring them closer to the core of the U.S. financial system. Obtaining the license would place both companies under the supervision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), requiring them to comply with the same capital, liquidity, and risk standards as traditional banks.

Chris Colson, a payments expert at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, stated that this is significant for cryptocurrency mainly because it signals that stablecoins are truly entering the financial mainstream. In addition, obtaining a banking license would allow these two companies to act as federally regulated custodians, hold stablecoin reserves, and potentially access the Federal Reserve’s real-time payment system. He emphasized, “The moves by Circle and Ripple blur the lines between fintech and traditional banking,” posing significant competition to existing banks.
