The OCC wants community banks to play a role in the future of digital payments. However, the application process has yet to open, pending OMB approval.

🇺🇸LATEST: @Ripple has secured final @USOCC approval for its national trust bank, following conditional approval in December 2025. The bank is expected to support RLUSD reserve management and provide digital asset custody services under federal supervision.

With seven portfolios spanning income, growth, and thematic strategies, the platform is extending tokenization beyond individual assets to complete investment portfolios. Tokenization is moving beyond individual stocks and Treasuries into diversified investment portfolios. Ondo’s rapid early growth shows growing interest in bringing entire investment strategies onchain.

UPDATE: 🇺🇸 Tokenized securities are now on the SEC’s radar for 2027. The regulator plans to examine risks linked to tokenization as traditional financial institutions increasingly explore bringing securities onto blockchain networks. The SEC’s new priorities put tokenized securities under closer regulatory scrutiny without creating new legal obligations. The focus is on how existing securities laws apply as financial markets adopt blockchain-based infrastructure.

🔥 HUGE: @BNBCHAIN is building a new L1 focused on high-performance onchain trading and payments, while BNB Smart Chain continues to operate. The network targets 200ms block intervals and ~20ms transaction pre-confirmations, with BNB remaining the core asset across both chains. The strategy is to expand the infrastructure without introducing a separate token. A public testnet is targeted for the end of 2026, followed by mainnet in early 2027. The key test will be whether the new architecture attracts trading activity and applications that benefit from lower latency. @cz_binance @heyibinance
