Watch pic.twitter.com/CgeoEwFDKv — CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) February 21, 2026 Ripple’s National Trust Bank Plans Ripple is pursuing a national trust bank charter, officially referred to as Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB) . This charter allows Ripple to operate under federal oversight. The bank will manage custody services, settle transactions, and support stablecoin reserves. It will not accept traditional retail deposits or issue consumer loans. Ripple’s goal is to provide regulated infrastructure for institutional payments and digital asset management. The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved the charter in December 2025. This approval allows Ripple to move forward with setting up the bank while meeting federal requirements. These requirements include capital allocation, governance structures, and compliance measures. Once complete, Ripple will gain access to federal payment systems, enabling it to settle transactions directly within the U.S. banking system. XRP’s Role in the Banking System The creation of RNTB integrates XRP into Ripple’s banking operations. This is a major step toward positioning XRP as a settlement layer for cross-border payments. By becoming a bank, Ripple ensures XRP can operate in a fully regulated environment. The video highlighted that this move puts XRP at the center of trillions in payments, reinforcing its utility beyond speculation. Institutional players can use XRP directly in settlement processes, providing a real use case for the token.

The bank will manage institutional assets and stablecoin reserves, focusing on RLUSD rather than holding XRP directly. XRP remains linked through the XRP Ledger, where it powers transactions and supports the stablecoin ecosystem. Ripple’s transformation into a bank means the crypto community will see XRP integrated into traditional financial systems, increasing demand. This regulatory legitimacy and practical use case could support upward price movement. XRP has a history of strong rebounds to positive developments, and the bank charter could accelerate institutional participation, speeding up XRP’s growth. With the OCC’s conditional approval, Ripple now has a pathway to full national bank status . Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
