Advocacy group pushes back on banks’ lawsuit against OCC over charters

CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim said that the organization “remains confident“ in the OCC’s approval of charters for crypto companies, despite a recent lawsuit and pushback from some lawmakers.

On Monday, CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim said that the ICBA lawsuit was a “clear attempt to resist national trust charters, payments innovation, and competition in financial services.” The crypto advocacy organization supported the OCC’s approvals and conditional approvals of crypto companies for national trust charters, despite accusations from some lawmakers that exchanges “want to evade the fundamental safeguards and obligations that come with being a bank.”
