The cryptocurrency trading platform EDX Markets, supported by Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity, has applied for a national trust bank license from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
This license will allow EDX to provide services such as digital asset custody, asset management, and trade settlement, but will not include traditional banking activities like accepting deposits or making loans. EDX stated that obtaining this license will help it better serve institutional clients and gain a competitive advantage in the wave of institutionalization in the cryptocurrency industry. Recently, several cryptocurrency companies, including Ripple, Circle, BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity Digital Assets, have also applied for similar licenses, indicating that the industry is accelerating its alignment with the regulated financial system.
