Ripple has applied for a national bank charter with the OCC following a similar move by Circle, potentially impacting the price of XRP.
The move aims to bring Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD under OCC regulation to increase transparency and compliance in the stablecoin market.
Ripple has also applied for a master account with the Federal Reserve to enhance security and trust in RLUSD, with its CEO emphasizing the importance of setting the right standard in the market.
Analysts suggest that approval of the banking license could lead to a significant surge in XRP price, with XRP currently trading at $2.29 and showing positive momentum over various timeframes.
