The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved a national banking license for Erebor Bank, which is the first time a cryptocurrency-affiliated bank has been granted this license. It is expected to become a full-service depository institution. It also applies for deposit insurance from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Unlike Anchorage Digital, which received a US OCC trust license in 2021, Erebor aims to fill the gap after the collapse of Signature, Silvergate and Silicon Valley banks, serving companies in the fields of crypto and artificial intelligence.
Japan's Sony also submitted an application to the US OCC this week to obtain more trust licenses through its subsidiaries to issue stablecoins and provide cryptocurrency custody services. At the same time, many cryptocurrency companies are waiting for the OCC trust license application decision.
