According to Decrypt, the Digital Chamber sent a letter to OCC Acting Comptroller Jonathan Gould on May 26, urging him to uphold the decision to grant national trust bank charters to cryptocurrency companies such as Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle. Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren had accused the approval of these charters of violating the National Bank Act and posing a threat to the safety of the U.S. banking system. The Digital Chamber countered that Congress, through the GENIUS Act, has effectively authorized the OCC to extend bank charters to stablecoin businesses, and that the approved companies do not accept FDIC-insured deposits, thus not engaging in traditional banking activities.

The group asserts that the GENIUS Act empowers the OCC to issue charters to firms such as Coinbase and Circle. Since these entities do not accept FDIC-insured deposits, they pose no threat to traditional banks.
