After 10 months of waiting, Ripple finally gets a federal bank charter

Last night, the OCC gave final approval to Ripple National Trust Bank
RLUSD reserves and institutional custody can now be held at its own federal bank

RLUSD only launched last December and now has a market cap of $2.5 billion
BNY is still its primary reserve custodian

On the same day, the OCC also called on community banks to issue stablecoins
The GENIUS Act takes effect on January 18 next year

I think the charter is a real milestone—not a buy signal
XRP is still at $1.31, down 13.4% in October
The charter covers stablecoins and custody, not token prices

Invalidation: RLUSD's market cap fails to break $5 billion within three months
or today's Swell conference fails to show real on-chain usage

Which do you think will come first: the charter or a price rally?
