USDC TAKES ANOTHER STEP TOWARD THE U.S. BANKING SYSTEM
On July 10, 2026, Circle received final approval from the U.S. federal banking regulator to establish Circle National Trust.
The new institution will be focused on the custody and administration of digital assets and may, in the future, assume functions related to the reserves that back USDC.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CLARIFY: Circle has not become a traditional commercial bank.
Even so, the decision is relevant because it places an important part of the USDC infrastructure under direct FEDERAL oversight.
For the market, this may mean:
• greater institutional confidence;
• closer ties with banks and businesses;
• strengthening of the stablecoin infrastructure;
• progress in the use of USDC in payments and settlement.
In my view, the news shows that stablecoins are no longer operating only at the margins of the financial system and are starting to integrate into regulated structures.
Not because of the price.
Because of the structure being built.
