World Liberty Financial Nears OCC Federal Trust Charter Approval

Trump-backed World Liberty Financial was reported to be nearing approval for a federal trust charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which would authorize stablecoin issuance under federal oversight. The development follows earlier reporting that USD1, the entity's stablecoin, was used to pay UFC fighter bonuses despite an ongoing probe into UAE connections. RLUSD separately surpassed $1.64 billion in circulation, with Ripple expanding the stablecoin to Africa via a Flutterwave partnership.
