TechFlow News: On March 5, according to The Block, cryptocurrency infrastructure firm ZeroHash has filed an application with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) seeking a national trust bank charter. According to OCC filings, the company plans to offer digital asset custody, fiat currency and other asset custody, custodial staking, transfer agency services, trade execution, stablecoin management, and settlement, clearing, and custody services.
Stephen Gardner, ZeroHash’s Chief Legal Officer, has been nominated as CEO of the proposed trust bank. This move follows in the footsteps of several other crypto firms—including Ripple, Circle, and BitGo—which received conditional approval from the OCC last December.
