What to Know:
Stablecoins are going legit, and pretty fast.
It’s the latest move in what’s shaping up to be ‘Stablecoin Season’: a full-blown regulatory sprint to bring digital dollars under federal oversight.
If approved, Bridge’s charter would let Stripe issue, redeem, and custody stablecoins directly under the OCC, instead of juggling dozens of state-level money-transmitter licenses.
That means its entire stablecoin business would sit under on federal framework, complete with 100% cash or Treasury-backed reserves and monthly public disclosures, as required by the GENIUS Act.
Bridge now joins Circle ($USDC), Ripple ($RLUSD), Paxos ($USDP), and Coinbase ($COIN) in chasing national trust licenses – a race that marks a historic pivot for the US digital asset market.
Together, these firms are positioning stablecoins as the regulated backbone of global payments, rather than gray-zone fintech experiments.
For users and merchants, that shift would make stablecoins the default settlement rail of the internet. They’re faster, cheaper, and now, finally, compliant.
For Striple, Bridge isn’t just about compliance; it’s also an infrastructure play.
All signs point to a regulated on-chain economy, where digital dollars move under federal supervision and mainstream adoption finally takes hold.
So the real question for investors becomes: if stablecoins are about to become the rails of this new system, which tokens will capture user flow at the edge?
The race for federal trust charters isn’t just about who prints the next digital dollar; it’s about who controls the gateway to it. Stripe, Circle, Ripple, and Coinbase are fighting for issuance and compliance. But at the user level, a different war is breaking out… the battle for wallets.
And that token is what powers the entire ecosystem. Holding $BEST unlocks reduced transaction fees, higher staking rewards, and early access to new token launches through the in-app ‘Upcoming Tokens’ feature.
As stablecoins come under the OCC’s watch, wallets integrating compliant rails and institutional security will stand out. Best Wallet is built precisely for that world, connecting regulated stablecoin infrastructure with DeFi native opportunities.
In that sense, the GENIUS Act sets the stage for wallets like Best Wallet to become the banks of the future,
