Crypto companies aiming for banking licenses: Is a historic turning point approaching? The gateway into the US banking system is opening wider than ever as prominent names like Circle, Ripple, BitGo, and Paxos pursue trust bank licenses from OCC. If successful, we will witness a structural leap: no longer needing the SWIFT network or cumbersome intermediary banks, but instead direct, local, and fully legal payments. The fact that traditional banks are panicking and demanding regulators to "pull the brakes" is evidence of the growing threat that Crypto poses to their long-held market share. Once Crypto is deeply embedded into the core of finance with full credibility, it will be the moment when our retail investors' trust is truly rewarded. Let's stay steady and ride this wave! $BTC $USDC
