Coinbase receives its first approval from banking regulators to operate trust services through its trust charter application which will enhance its custody operations. #LearnKaroCryptoKaro The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has granted Coinbase conditional approval to operate as a federal crypto custodian because the company requires the final review to prove its compliance. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has granted Coinbase conditional approval to operate as a national trust company, which allows Coinbase to function as a federal crypto custodian. Coinbase needs to develop compliance systems and hire essential personnel and show proof of effective risk management and anti-money laundering measures before it can receive complete charter approval. The charter will permit Coinbase to function as a non-insured national trust company that provides digital asset custody services to institutional clients through conventional income sources. Coinbase needs to complete several tasks which include regulatory assessments and risk management evaluations, before it can obtain complete approval of its operations. Paul Grewal who serves as Coinbase chief legal officer stated that the company requires finalization of its OCC charter to commence operation as it will enable business expansion in the cryptocurrency industry. The charter will give Coinbase authority to oversee client digital assets but it will prevent the company from receiving deposits and providing loans. The October charter application from Coinbase and other companies such as Ripple illustrates the rising institutional need for regulated custody services. Institutions use custody services to establish secure environments which enable them to build trust with customers through regulated entities that provide state license verification. The company currently holds multiple U.S. spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds which supports its efforts to reduce revenue dependence on fluctuating trading fees through its revenue diversification strategy. Grewal demonstrated his positive assessment of Coinbase future growth potential by showcasing upcoming payment solutions and new product developments which will benefit customers.
