PANews reported on October 15th that Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure company acquired by fintech giant Stripe, is applying for a national bank trust charter through the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Co-founder Zach Abrams stated on Wednesday that if approved, Bridge would be able to operate under a unified federal regulatory framework under the GENIUS Act, the U.S. stablecoin legislation signed into law this summer. This would allow Bridge to provide regulated stablecoin issuance, management, and custody services.PANews reported on October 15th that Bridge, the stablecoin infrastructure company acquired by fintech giant Stripe, is applying for a national bank trust charter through the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
