National Digital Trust Company (NDTC) Achieves Milestone OCC Approval for National Trust Bank Charter

We’re excited to share the following announcement from National Digital Trust Company (NDTC). Warmest congratulations to them on this milestone!

"Today marks a major milestone for National Digital Trust Company (In Organization) and the broader institutional digital asset market. We are proud to announce that we have received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) as part of the national trust bank chartering process. 

Despite growing institutional demand, the market has long lacked a controls-first, bank-grade counterparty for digital assets. NDTC is being purpose-built to close that gap. 

Rather than adapting tech-first models, we have built to meet supervisory and fiduciary standards from day one — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation. Our platform is designed to allow regulated institutions to integrate digital assets without departing from their strict fiduciary, governance, risk, and compliance frameworks. 

Key Pillars of Our Approach: 

• Bank-Grade Infrastructure: Operating within established supervisory and fiduciary frameworks. 

• Institutional Focus: Dedicated to serving institutional clients exclusively. 

• Secure & Compliant: Emphasizing fully reserved custody and agency-only services.
