🇺🇸🏦 BIG US BANKS MAY SUE OVER CRYPTO BANK LICENSES Banking giants like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and American Express are considering suing the U.S. OCC over its decision to grant national trust bank charters to crypto firms. Banks argue issuing these licenses to crypto firms could pose risks to Americans and the wider financial system. Firms receiving approvals include BitGo, Ripple, Paxos, and Fidelity, with conditional licenses also issued to Crypto .com, Bridge, and Stripe.
