DescriptionWLTC Holdings LLC — World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Donald Trump and his three sons — applied to the OCC on Jan 5-7, 2026 for a national trust bank charter (World Liberty Trust Company, N.A.) to issue and custody its USD1 stablecoin. The OCC still lists the application (received 01/06/2026) as pending as of July 14, 2026 — past its 120-day target, and a month after June 16 reporting that Comptroller Jonathan Gould would rule "in the coming days." Warren has pressed for denial; the OCC refused to delay.
- Each outcome resolves YES if the OCC grants the charter on or before its deadline, and NO if it does not.
- 1. Specificity: YES requires an official OCC grant — preliminary conditional approval OR final charter — on the application received 01/06/2026, shown by an OCC news release or the OCC's record of action on that filing in CAS. Preliminary conditional approval COUNTS as YES, even though authorization to commence business comes later.
- 2. Exclusion: Press reports, "nearing approval" stories, company statements, congressional letters, and OCC remarks about timing do NOT count without official OCC action. Denial, withdrawal, return, or still-pending all resolve NO. The application merely leaving the pending list is NOT sufficient — an affirmative grant must be shown. Grants to other applicants, or on a substantively refiled application, do not count.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: OCC 2026 news releases priority. OCC Corporate Applications Search (CAS) secondary. OCC Digital Assets Licensing Applications page tertiary (confirms NO only).
- 4. Timing: The OCC action's official date (America/New_York calendar date) must fall on or before the outcome's deadline. A later action resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: An action dated on or before a deadline resolves YES even if published later, provided it is public by Aug 11, 2026 23:59 UTC, when all outcomes settle. Announced intent to grant, without the grant, resolves NO. A qualifying grant stays YES even if later rescinded.
