Crypto bank part-owned by Trump family offers depositors way to ‘gain favor’ with White House, experts say
- World Liberty Trust Company, partly owned by the Trump family, got conditional OCC approval to start a bank on 14 August 2026.
- The bank issues the Trump-linked USD1 stablecoin, which has only $4bn in circulation versus Tether's $183bn and USDC's $70bn.
- Experts say the main motive for depositors is to gain favor with the White House, not financial return, since no interest is paid.
- The bank can earn interest on deposits by investing in US treasury bonds, while depositors get no interest under the 2025 Genius Act.
- Democrats call the approval a corruption example, but the OCC says career staff reviewed it and no insider dealing occurred.
