Coinbase secures full U.S. trust charter from federal banking regulator

Coinbase said the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency upgraded its trust status from conditional to a full national trust charter. The move gives the largest U.S. crypto exchange a federally recognized banking footing, which can support custody and institutional services. Traders may read it as a regulatory win that strengthens Coinbase's institutional business and improves sentiment toward regulated crypto infrastructure.
