Circle National Trust received final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to operate as a federally regulated trust bank providing custody services for cirBTC, a wrapped Bitcoin token designed to bring Bitcoin into Ethereum and other blockchain applications. This regulated custody ensures cirBTC maintains a 1:1 backing with native Bitcoin held securely by Circle’s Bermuda affiliate and safeguarded by Circle National Trust. The approval marks a significant step in integrating blockchain assets into the U.S. financial system and could lead to direct custody services for institutional clients if demand grows. cirBTC is live on Ethereum and supports cross-chain transfers, enabling its use in decentralized finance and other blockchain applications.
