Latest news shows that World Liberty Trust, a subsidiary of the large crypto asset group World Liberty Financial, has officially submitted a de novo bank charter application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), aiming to obtain a nationwide banking license. This move reflects the trend of crypto financial institutions seeking licensed and compliant operations. Once approved, it will signify further integration between the crypto sector and the traditional banking system. As a federal banking regulator in the United States, the OCC has always been strict and cautious in approving related applications. Industry insiders believe that such developments not only relate to the growth of individual companies but could also influence the regulatory landscape evolution of the entire crypto financial industry.

Another project disguised in compliance attire, to put it simply, is trying to launder funds using the OCC brand. I am already tracking the on-chain footprints of several related addresses.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- OCC this level probably isn't that easy to pass, just watching the show --- The path of compliance licenses... Cryptocurrency really needs to be tamed --- World Liberty is up to something big again. If they really get approved, traditional finance will probably freak out --- Basically, they just want to enter the mainstream, but regulation is a tricky thing --- If this really goes through, the industry landscape might have to be reshuffled --- Let's wait and see, OCC has never been easy to mess with --- The funny part is having to kneel and wait for approval—that's the fate of crypto

Ha, it's the same old compliance trick again. Will the OCC approve? I really can't see it. Wait, is this WLF's move? Now that's interesting. Basically, crypto wants to whitewash into the system, sounds noble but I find it quite ironic. How could the OCC guys approve so quickly? Dream on. It's called integration in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's about being harvested. This kind of news happens every year. How many actually get approved? Don't be too optimistic, everyone. Why is the compliance route so difficult? Feels like we're always stuck here. Here we go again with the regulatory game, headache. Just watch the show. The entire industry is betting on this, one word from the OCC can change the game, the pressure is immense. Honestly, I'm more concerned about whether they'll approve or not, not what licenses they want.

Coming with this again? Do you think OCC folks would let crypto pass so easily? I don't believe it.

So this time, you're really planning to cash out? If OCC approves, then it's a miracle.

Ha, another "licensed dream," sounds very professional, but those OCC folks are not so easy to fool. Basically, they just want to wear formal attire and enter the banking system. The question is, why would they trust you? If this actually gets approved, that would be news. Right now, it's just about managing expectations.

Regarding compliance licenses, to put it simply, it's big institutions gilding their reputation. The OCC folks won't release it so easily; this matter isn't that simple.

Hmm... If we can pass this OCC level, it would be incredible, but if we actually do, that would be pretty awesome.

Ha, WLF, are you really integrating into traditional finance? The folks at OCC are not easy to fool. --- Another one trying to join the mainstream, let's see how OCC handles it. --- Honestly, crypto wants to go mainstream, but whether it can be approved is really hard to say. --- Integration? I think it's being absorbed... once the regulatory meat grinder starts turning, everyone has to go in. --- Once the license application is submitted, the coin price depends on the mood of the regulators, it's a total mess. --- Interesting, crypto is finally entering the system. I wonder if it will be domesticated. --- Can OCC get past this hurdle? I remain skeptical; there are too many pitfalls. --- If this really passes, the entire industry's rules of the game will have to be rewritten. --- Licensing and compliance... sounds good, but it's actually just being put on a leash.

Haha, it's impossible for OCC to pass. These people are too naive.
