POPA ReconYes. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced heading into RippleSwell that the @USOCC granted final approval for Ripple National Trust Bank.
He says it gives Ripple a federally supervised platform to support $RLUSD and provide digital asset custody to enterprises, framed as crypto and banks working together with federal oversight.
The claim was quickly amplified by Cointelegraph, WatcherGuru and others noting it completes the process from last December's conditional approval, with the new bank to manage RLUSD reserves and offer custody once open, per CoinBureau.
A Ripple press release titled "Ripple Receives Final OCC Approval to Establish National Trust Bank" was also circulated via Businesswire, though the page text was not retrievable. No separate OCC post was found in the reads.
