The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted conditional approval for a national bank charter to Bridge, a subsidiary of payments giant Stripe. This regulatory milestone, while still pending final approval, positions Bridge to offer stablecoin and digital asset services to businesses, marking a significant step toward mainstream institutional adoption of crypto infrastructure.
This development signals growing regulatory clarity for crypto-native financial services in the U.S., potentially accelerating enterprise integration of digital assets. Bridge's alignment with Stripe's extensive merchant network could catalyze broader commercial use cases for stablecoins, enhancing liquidity and operational efficiency in business-to-business transactions.
