BlockBeats News, December 13 – The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved trust bank licenses for five institutions: Ripple, BitGo, DigitalAssets, Paxos, and Circle. "Conditional approval" is a preliminary recognition, indicating that the OCC has reviewed the application and considers the company to meet basic regulatory requirements (such as capital adequacy, risk management framework, and business plan), but it is not a final license. The company must meet specific conditions within a set timeframe to convert this into full operational status. Once all conditions are satisfied, the OCC will issue a final, unconditional national trust bank license, allowing the company to immediately exercise trust bank powers, mainly including: expanding core business operations, managing client assets as a trustee, handling payment settlements, custody of digital assets (such as stablecoin reserves), and providing related financial services.

Former derivatives protocol Aevo co-founder Ken Chan's "exit manifesto" quickly swept the Asian crypto circle this week. He posted a long post on X saying that he had "wasted eight years" in the crypto industry and bluntly stated that "I am not building a new financial system, I am just building a casino." This remark has sparked widespread resonance and controversy in the Chinese and South Korean communities, with millions of views. Chan's post is not only a professional reflection but also a collapse of personal ideology. He claimed to have been influenced by libertarianism and was enamored with the revolutionary idea of Bitcoin "crossing the border with a billion dollars." However, eight years of industry experience completely disillusioned him. He criticized the Layer 1 capital war for "burning everyone's money", and projects such as Aptos, Sui, Sei, and ICP did not bring real financial innovation, but only "competed to become the next Solana". His conclusion is sharp: "We don't need to build a Mars casino. ”
