World Liberty2026-08-23 23:27:40World Liberty Financial Wins Preliminary OCC Approval for National Trust CharterWorld Liberty Financial received preliminary approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, on Aug. 14 to become a national trust bank, according to Techub News, citing CryptoBriefing. The decision came after a 221-day review process. If the charter takes effect, the firm would be able to issue, redeem, and custody its USD1 stablecoin directly under federal oversight. USD1 is currently managed by BitGo, but reserve management would move under direct OCC supervision once the charter is in place. The report also said the entity would not be allowed to accept insured deposits or make loans, reflecting the limits attached to a national trust structure. CryptoBriefing added that entities linked to the Trump family hold a 38% stake in the company. The approval arrived as the U.S. Senate reviews the CLARITY Act, a bill aimed at regulating gains that public officials may derive from cryptocurrency holdings.1180

WorldClaw says 43 of its 90 models come from Chinese companies, including Alibaba, Baidu and Z.ai, all of which have drawn U.S. scrutiny. The report also said World Liberty executive Ryan Fang advises WorldClaw, while Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have promoted it. U.S. officials have already taken action against some of the Chinese firms named in the report. Z.ai was added to the Commerce Department’s Entity List in January 2025, and the Pentagon designated Alibaba and Baidu as Chinese military companies operating in the United States in June. Alibaba rejected that designation and said it would sue to have it removed. The article also noted that Anthropic has accused several Chinese AI firms of large-scale model distillation activity and urged Congress to tighten export controls.610
