TRUMP dinner offer? White House says there are ”no conflicts of interest”

The $TRUMP meme coin spiked over 60% , jumping from $9.02 to $14.46, after an announcement that the top 220 buyers would be invited to a private dinner with Donald Trump on May 22. The top 25 holders will also receive VIP access and a special tour.

Coinbase eyes bank charter as Trump-era policy opens door for crypto firms

Coinbase is one of at least 15 digital asset firms considering applying for trust charters from the OCC. It also plans to apply for a federal bank charter, which would let it handle payments directly and operate more securely without relying on traditional banks.

This push comes after a key regulatory hurdle was removed last month, opening the door for digital asset firms to gain national bank status under the crypto-friendly Trump administration.

“There should be more federally chartered digital asset banks — and we would be proud for others to follow in our footsteps,” said Anchorage CEO Nathan McCauley.

While the OCC is signaling openness, the Federal Reserve remains hesitant, citing potential systemic risks.

Crypto in America reported that, “To date, no crypto entity has successfully secured a [Fed] Master Account.”
