The CEO of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, Cody Carbone, sent a public letter to the head of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Jonathan Gould, around May 27, rebutting claims made by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren said that the OCC’s approval of national trust charters for nine crypto companies allegedly violates the National Banking Act.
沃倫 5 月 18 日信件的具體指控內容
沃倫在 5 月 18 日致 OCC 署長古爾德的信件中提出三項核心主張:第一,上述加密公司「計劃從事的活動似乎遠遠超出了法律允許的狹窄範圍」;第二,這些公司「試圖規避作為銀行應有的基本保障措施和義務」;第三,她質疑這些申請獲批的理由,並暗示白宮可能存在影響。身為參議院銀行委員會資深成員,沃倫曾多次就 OCC 審查議題發聲,並於 2026 年 1 月去信古爾德,要求暫緩審議 World Liberty Financial 的申請,理由為川普與該平台存在財務關聯。CoinTelegraph 已聯繫沃倫辦公室尋求置評,截至報道時尚未收到回應。
數位商會的反駁:法律論點的要求標準
Carbone 在致 Gould 的信中表示,相關加密公司「自願接受聯邦監管:它們都申請了國家信託銀行牌照,接受了 OCC 的審查,並承擔了聯邦監管帶來的合規義務」,認為此行為與沃倫的「規避監管」指控直接矛盾。Carbone 在回應 CoinTelegraph 的澄清請求時表示:「如果沃倫參議員認為 OCC 越權,恰當的回應是指出相關法規中具體的越界之處。一位銀行委員會成員的『這似乎不對』並不構成法律論點。無論施壓者是誰,OCC 都不應因政治壓力而放棄一項合法合理的決定。」
待審申請現況:14 家公司申請等待 OCC 決定
截至週二,OCC 官方清單共列出 14 家已提交牌照申請的數位資產公司。其中,Payward 在申請文件中表示,若獲批准,計劃「主要為數位資產提供信託託管和其他服務」。World Liberty Financial 的申請自 2026 年 1 月起受到沃倫公開關注,OCC 截至週二尚未對上述兩份申請作出公開決定。
常見問題
What is the core legal argument the Chamber of Digital Commerce is rebutting?
The Chamber argues that Warren failed to identify a specific out-of-bounds provision in the relevant statutes, and that mere questioning based on feelings does not constitute a legal argument. Carbone’s core rebuttal is that these companies voluntarily applied for national trust bank licenses and agreed to accept OCC federal oversight, so their conduct is logically inconsistent with allegations that they are trying to “evade regulation.”
OCC 目前已批准的九家加密公司章程申請包括哪些?
依沃倫 5 月 18 日信件及相關報道確認,已獲批或有條件批准的公司包括:Coinbase、Ripple、Stripe、BitGo、Circle、Fidelity Digital Assets、Protego Holdings 和 Paxos。OCC 尚未就已批准清單發布完整的官方公開版本。
Why is the OCC application by World Liberty Financial drawing special attention?
In January 2026, Warren wrote to the OCC’s director, asking for a pause in the review of World Liberty Financial’s application, citing financial ties between U.S. President Trump and the platform as a potential conflict of interest. As of Tuesday, the OCC had not issued a public decision on World Liberty Financial’s application, which remains on a list of 14 pending reviews.
