The cryptocurrency industry refutes Warren's accusations and supports the OCC in granting bank charters to stablecoin companies

According to Decrypt, the Digital Chamber has written to OCC Director Jonathan Gould, urging him to stick to the decision to grant national trust bank charters to crypto companies like Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle.

Previously, Senator Elizabeth Warren accused the approval of these charters of violating the National Bank Act and posing a threat to the safety of the U.S. banking system. The Digital Chamber countered that Congress has effectively authorized the OCC to extend bank charters to stablecoin businesses through the GENIUS Act, and that the approved companies do not accept FDIC-insured deposits, thus not constituting traditional banking operations.
