According to ChainCatcher, U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Comptroller Jonathan Gould stated that crypto firms applying for federal banking licenses should be treated equally with traditional institutions, with no justification for artificial regulatory distinctions. Gould noted that digital asset custody is not a new concept and that the banking system has the capacity to evolve from the 'telegraph era' to the blockchain era. He revealed that the OCC has received 14 new bank applications this year, including entities involving digital assets, nearly matching the total from the past four years.
