The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved five institutions—Ripple, Circle, Paxos, BitGo, and Fidelity Digital Assets—to transition into federally chartered trust banks. This is not merely a regulatory label change but a systemic breakthrough as digital assets move from the fringes of the financial system into its core infrastructure.

The Brazilian financial system is controlled by the top ten major banks, which manage over 8 trillion reais in assets. They are not only the channels for money flow but also the engines of economic growth. From agricultural financing to housing loans, from corporate expansion to consumer credit, the decisions made by these banks directly influence the pulse of the national economy.
