Circle<\/a>, the issuer behind the USDC<\/a> stablecoin, has firmly denied rumors suggesting it plans to apply for a US banking license.<\/p>\n

The firm's Chief Strategy Officer, Dante Disparte, clarified<\/a> on social media that Circle has no plans to become a bank or any other type of insured depository institution.<\/p>\n

Disparte emphasized that the firm is focused on aligning with future regulations on payment stablecoins instead. He added that Circle is prepared to register under a state or federal trust charter or operate through a non-bank license if required.<\/p>\n

Disparte's statement directly counters circulating reports suggesting that Circle and other major crypto firms like Coinbase<\/a> were preparing to apply for banking licenses<\/a> due to the favorable regulatory environment under President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The speculations are unsurprising, considering there has been a noticeable shift in how US regulators are approaching the crypto industry.<\/p>\n

For context, the Federal Reserve recently rolled back previous guidance that limited traditional banks' ability to interact with digital assets, including dollar-based tokens.<\/p>\n

The reversal is seen by many as a green light for broader crypto adoption. Jason Karsh, a business leader at Blocks, welcomed<\/a> the change, calling it a meaningful step toward making crypto a practical part of everyday finance.<\/p>\n

Stablecoin legislations<\/h2>\n

Disparte suggested that the firm focus on helping the US Congress pass stablecoin legislation supporting innovation while protecting consumers.<\/p>\n

Disparte said:<\/p>\n

“We urge Congress to pass bipartisan payment stablecoin legislation now to champion American innovation, stability, and consumer safety.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These comments come as the US Congress debates two key bills to shape the future of stablecoin regulation in the country.<\/p>\n

The first bill is the Stablecoin Transparency and Accountability for a Better Ledger Economy (STABLE<\/a>) Act, and it recently cleared the House Financial Services Committee.\u00a0The second, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS<\/a>) Act, is also progressing through the legislative pipeline.<\/p>\n

The bills propose new standards for liquidity, reserves, and compliance with anti-money laundering rules. Lawmakers hope the legislation will help maintain the global influence of the US dollar by building trust around US-based stablecoin issuers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
