A Protego feltételes nemzeti banki státusza jóváhagyás nélkül lejárt: Jelentés

Institutional cryptocurrency custodian Protego’s conditional national trust banking charter has expired without it receiving permanent approval, according to a March 17 report in Fortune.

A spokesperson for the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) mondta Fortune that the firm did not meet pre-conversion requirements. According to the spokesperson:

„[A] konverzió előtti követelmények magukban foglalták a bank biztonságos és megbízható működését, valamint a minimális tőke- és likviditási követelmények teljesítését szolgáló irányelveket, eljárásokat, rendszereket és egyéb intézkedéseket.”

Protego, based in Washington state, was granted an 18-month conditional charter in February 2021, and it was extended once. Under a conditional charter, an organization cannot accept deposits. An unnamed source told Fortune that Protego had lined up agreements on the necessary financing to meet charter requirements by the Feb. 4 deadline, but it did not receive a firm answer about its charter.

An OOC bulletin dated March 5–11 felsorolt Protego and indicated that time had expired on its conversion on Feb. 4.

Protego founder and executive chair Greg Gilman told Fortune that he felt the company had met the financing requirement and the company could either reapply to the OCC, which is a division of the federal Treasury Department, or apply to state authorities to operate as a state bank.

A federal charter would have allowed Protego to custody digital assets and perform credentialing functions, such as Know Your Customer measures. At present, Anchorage Bank is the only crypto firm to receive a national banking charter.

Letétkezelő Bank was denied a place in the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 23. Paxos also received a conditional national trust bank charter in 2021. A spokesman said that the company “continues to work constructively with the OCC” on its pending application.
