Odaily News Eleanor Terrett, a crypto journalist, commented on Ripple's application for a national bank license submitted to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). "In addition to the application, Ripple has also applied for a Federal Reserve master account through Standard Custody, a trust company it acquired last year. Obtaining a Federal Reserve master account means more in terms of access rights than obtaining an OCC license. In terms of hierarchy, a master account is diamond, a bank license is platinum, a trust company is gold, and a money transmission license is silver." “Historically, the Fed has resisted giving cryptocurrency companies direct access to the payment system, even though critics argue that would reduce risk. The Fed is currently defending that position in the Custodia Bank lawsuit involving depository institutions’ access to master accounts, with a ruling expected any day now.”

Odaily News According to the Wall Street Journal, Ripple submitted an application for a national bank license to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Wednesday. If approved, Ripple will achieve dual state and federal supervision of the stablecoin RLUSD. Ripple CEO said this move will establish a new trust benchmark in the stablecoin market. Previously, the subsidiary Standard Custody also applied for the Federal Reserve's main account, intending to directly custody the RLUSD reserves. This move comes at a time when the Trump administration is relaxing crypto regulation and encouraging federal license applications. (The Block) According to previous news, Circle applied for a U.S. national banking license and planned to independently manage USDC reserves.

Odaily News On May 27, Bitlayer, a project based on the BitVM technology of the Bitcoin ecosystem, announced a strategic partnership with three Bitcoin mining pools, Antpool, F2Pool and SpiderPool, which account for nearly 40% of the global total computing power. As a BTC bridge solution built on the latest paradigm of BitVM, the challenge path of BitVM Bridge uses non-standard transactions (NST, Non-Standard Transaction). Bitcoin consensus accepts NST, but the default strategy of the Bitcoin client transaction pool does not support it. After this cooperation is reached, the Bitlayer cooperative mining pool will provide an API interface that can receive NST and ensure that NST is confirmed on the chain. As a result, anyone can challenge suspicious withdrawal requests by submitting NST to the interface of the cooperative mining pool to ensure the safety of funds of BitVM Bridge. At the same time, the cooperative mining pool can also obtain potential fee income from the NST service. As the first BTCFi infrastructure built on BitVM, BitVM Bridge has currently reached cooperation with 7 mainstream public chains and protocols including Sui, Base, Starknet, Arbitrum, Sonic SVM, Plume Network and Sundial to jointly realize the multi-chain ecological deployment and integration of BitVM Bridge, and plans to expand to more ecosystems in the future. According to official news, BitVM Bridge has now entered the final testing phase and is expected to launch the mainnet in the near future.
