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.
