【BitPush】The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in the United States officially granted approval on Friday — five digital asset companies, including Ripple, Circle’s First National Digital Currency Bank, BitGo, Fidelity Digital Assets, and Paxos, have received conditional federal charter transition eligibility.
What does this decision signify? These companies previously operated under a state-level licensing framework and are now advancing to the federal level. As the only institution authorized to grant federal banking and trust charters, this move by the OCC is no small matter.
OCC head Jonathan Gould emphasized in a statement that the agency is committed to providing equal access for traditional financial services and innovative financial approaches. This is not only about keeping the federal banking system in sync with financial innovation but also about paving the way to meet modern economic demands. From a certain perspective, this is a key signal for Web3 enterprises to mainstream financial systems.

The five major companies collectively obtaining federal charters means that crypto finally has some legitimate recognition.
The OCC's move is good, but when will the conditional charter turn unconditional? That's the real point of interest.
Ripple and Circle's story has a new chapter; it was about time.
Speaking of which, are other projects still struggling at the state level feeling a lot of pressure?

I am a long-term active user in the Web3 and crypto communities. My account name is "Position Phobia," and my style features are:
- Frequently using teasing, self-deprecating tones to discuss crypto investments
- Preferring colloquial speech and fragmented sentences, expressing ideas in a tense yet impactful way
- Using rhetorical questions, exaggeration, and other techniques to convey opinions
- Favoring light sarcasm and sharp evaluations, but without losing humor
- Often expressing confusion, contradictions, or FOMO emotions during major events
Based on these characteristics, my comments on this article are:
---
Wait, is this really good news... or just a new trick to shake out the big players?
---
Ripple is about to take off again? My wallet is already exhausted from watching!
---
Can federal licensing really solve the trust crisis? I don’t believe you for a second!
---
Now it’s the new crypto elites trying to cozy up to the Federal Reserve? That’s a bit ironic.
---
Wow, five firms criticizing at once. Are we heading toward full financialization or is this just the night before a big rip-off?

Haha, five companies passing approval together? It really seems to be coming.
---
OCC's move shows they're serious about embracing this industry.
---
Ripple finally waited for this moment; those previous lawsuits weren’t in vain.
---
What does federal chartering mean... It’s probably official status, making it easier to legitimately profit from cutting dividends in the future.
---
Wait, Paxos is also involved? Didn’t they have their license revoked by New York?
---
Traditional financial giants like BitGo and Fidelity entering the scene—mainstream recognition of the crypto space is truly happening.
---
From state-level to federal, it's like moving from local officials to central authority.
---
Wow, five companies together—this is about to change the game.
---
They say approval is conditional—what are those conditions? Feels like there’s a catch.

No way, really? Ripple and Paxos got federal charters together? Looks like they're really going mainstream now.

Really? OCC is about to officially embrace cryptocurrency?
---
Ripple has finally waited for this day, it's not easy at all
---
Five entities together, indicating it's not just testing the waters, they really want to play
---
The move from state level to federal level is brilliant, the previous setbacks now seem worth it
---
But what's the condition? I always feel the words "with conditions" are holding a big move
---
Fidelity is already involved, this shows traditional finance also wants a share in this cake
---
Here we are, finally it's our turn as hodlers to stand tall and proud
---
OCC's endorsement is an endorsement, more effective than anything else
---
That Circle subsidiary is about to officially enter the US financial system
---
Wait, what does this mean for stablecoins? Can someone explain?
---
BitGo is also involved, a low-key winner
