Circle executive denies claims of seeking US banking license

Circle’s chief strategy officer and head of global policy, Dante Disparte, denied reports that the company is seeking a US federal bank charter.

An executive at major stablecoin issuer Circle denied recent reports that the company is looking to obtain a US federal bank charter.

In an April 25 X post, Circle’s chief strategy officer and head of global policy, Dante Disparte, denied that the company is interested in obtaining a US federal bank charter or acquiring an insured depository institution.

Instead, he explained that Circle intends to comply with future US regulatory requirements for payment stablecoins, “which may require registering for a federal or state trust charter or other nonbank license.” He also urged lawmakers to reach regulatory clarity for stablecoins sooner rather than later.
