Comptroller Jonathan Gould addressed the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium in Jackson Hole, outlining the OCC's posture on digital asset innovation under the Trump administration's pro-crypto agenda. His remarks focused on advancing GENIUS Act implementation and positioning US banks as global leaders in digital currency infrastructure, signaling continued regulatory opening for bank-level crypto activity.
For Armada's crypto-repo desk, this matters because expanding OCC permissions could widen the pool of bank counterparties willing to accept BTC, ETH, and tokenized T-Bill collateral. It also raises the bar on compliance expectations for non-bank crypto lenders seeking to operate alongside federally chartered institutions.
