Paxos applies for U.S. trust bank license with OCC

2025/08/12 01:00

Paxos, one of the leading regulated stablecoin issuers and tokenization platforms, has filed for regulatory approval to become a national trust bank.

Summary
  • Paxos has applied for a national trust charter license from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
  • The crypto company eyes regulatory approval to convert its New York issued charter to a national trust charter.
  • Paxos joins Circle and Ripple among companies seeking banking licenses in the U.S.

Paxos, which issues PayPal USD (PYUSD) and Pax Dollar (USDP) stablecoins, announced that it is looking to convert its New York Department of Financial Services trust charter into a national trust bank charter. 

The company’s application for a trust bank license is with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Approval to convert from an NYDFS-regulated trust to a national charter would allow Paxos to manage and hold assets on its customers’ behalf. A national trust charter would also allow the Pax Dollar issuer to accept cash deposits and offer loans under applicable regulation.

Circle, Ripple also eye banking licenses

Paxos became the first blockchain firm to obtain a limited trust charter from NYDFS in 2015. The company first filed for a national bank license in 2020, and regulators gave preliminary conditional approval in 2021. However, the application hit a snag and expired in 2023.

Commenting further on the fresh application, Paxos CEO Charles Cascarilla, said:

OCC oversight will add to regulatory milestones across Europe and Asia with the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority.

The move also sees Paxos join other top digital asset platforms and companies eyeing banking licenses in the United States. 

Circle, the publicly-traded stablecoin issuer of USDC (USDC) and Ripple, the company behind the XRP (XRP) cryptocurrency and Ripple USD stablecoin, recently filed for national trust bank charters. At the moment, Anchorage Digital is the only U.S.-based digital asset platform with a national trust bank charter.

Billionaire Michael Saylor Buys 155 More Bitcoin – Here’s Why it Matters

S trategy (formerly MicroStrategy) , led by executive chairman and co-founder Michael Saylo r, has once again expanded its already massive Bitcoin holdings. In a fili ng dated August 11, 2025, the company revealed it had purchased an additional 155 BTC between August 4 and August 10, 2025. The acquisition cost approximately $18 million, with an average purchase price of about $116,401 per Bitcoin. Strategy has acquired 155 BTC for ~$18.0 million at ~$116,401 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 25.0% YTD 2025. As of 8/10/2025, we hodl 628,946 $BTC acquired for ~$46.09 billion at ~$73,288 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD https://t.co/bx0814RI1w — Michael Saylor (@saylor) August 11, 2025 This latest acquisition shows the company’s continued conviction in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, even at elevated market prices. Strategy has been one of the most aggressive corporate buyers of Bitcoin since it began its accumulation strategy in 2020. A Record-Breaking Bitcoin Balance Sheet Following this latest purchase, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 628,946 BTC. The company’s cumulative investment in Bitcoin amounts to roughly $46.10 billion, translating to an average purchase price of $73,288 per bitcoin. These figures cement Strategy’s position as the largest publicly traded corporate holder of Bitcoin by a wide margin. The company’s Bitcoin yield for the year-to-date in 2025 is an impressive 25%, reflecting strong gains in the asset’s market value this year. Why This Acquisition Stands Out The timing of this acquisition stands out, as Bitcoin prices have surged in 2025, driven by institutional adoption, increased integration into traditional financial markets, and macroeconomic factors such as persistent inflation and currency debasement fears. Buying at over $116,000 per Bitcoin shows Strategy’s confidence in further upside potential. Saylor has repeatedly stated that Bitcoin represents “digital gold” and a superior form of money. His strategy has been to convert a large portion of Strategy’s balance sheet into Bitcoin, financing some purchases through debt and equity offerings. This latest move suggests that Saylor sees continued strength in the market, despite already substantial gains this year. Market Implications and Investor Reactions Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation has made its stock a proxy for Bitcoin exposure among traditional equity investors. Following previous purchase announcements, MSTR shares have often mirrored Bitcoin’s price movements, rising as sentiment around the cryptocurrency improves. Investors and analysts will be watching closely to see how this additional purchase affects both the company’s market valuation and its future financial results. With over $46 billion in Bitcoin on its books, Strategy’s fortunes are increasingly tied to the performance of the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
