Nubank Secures Conditional U.S. Approval to Offer Crypto Custody and Banking Services

  • Nubank wins conditional U.S. approval to expand banking and crypto custody services.
  • Crypto moves closer to mainstream U.S. banking under federal regulation.

Nubank, Latin America’s biggest digital bank, has received conditional approval from the U.S. regulators to operate in the United States, which allows the company to offer crypto custody and traditional banking services under the federal framework. The Brazil-based bank has announced that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted permission for Nubank to open in the U.S.

Once the final approval is done, the bank is set to operate in the U.S. under the federal banking framework. Nubank offers a deposit account, credit cards, loans, lending services, and digital asset custody. 

Nubank should still meet the conditions after getting approval 

If Nubank gets approval, it cannot start the operations immediately; instead, it must satisfy all the regulatory conditions set by the OCC and obtain approvals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve. It should fully fund the U.S. bank within 12 months and officially open the bank within 18 months. Only after completing all these steps can the bank begin its operation in the U.S. 

Nubank already has 127 million customers in Brazil and other parts of Latin America. If it gets into the U.S. will fully approval, then it will become one of the first major foreign digital banks to offer crypto custody under U.S. federal banking rules. The Nubank has already started building teams and offices in several major U.S. regions, including Miami, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Northern Virginia. 

If it’s fully approved, then Nubank will join a growing group of institutions offering crypto services under the U.S. banking rules. This shows that crypto is slowly becoming a part of the regular banking system in the U.S.

SAB and Wamid target $2.32T Saudi capital markets with blockchain-based tokenization plans. LINK price falls 2.43% to $22.99 despite higher trading volume and steady liquidity ratios. Saudi Awwal Bank has added Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to its digital strategy. CCIP links assets and data across multiple blockchains, while CRE provides banks with a controlled framework to test and deploy new financial applications. The lender, with more than $100 billion in assets, is applying the tools to tokenized assets, cross-border settlement, and automated credit platforms. The move signals that Chainlink’s infrastructure is being adopted at scale inside regulated finance.

The focus is on equities and debt products, opening the door for blockchain-based issuance and settlement. SAB has already executed the world’s first Islamic repo on distributed ledger technology, in collaboration with Oumla earlier this year. That transaction gave regulators a template for compliant on-chain contracts. The Wamid deal builds directly on that precedent, shifting from single-instrument pilots toward broader capital markets integration. Saudi Blockchain Buildout Gains Pace Saudi institutions are building multiple layers of digital infrastructure. Oumla is working with Avalanche to develop the Kingdom’s first domestically hosted Layer 1 blockchain. SAB’s Chainlink adoption adds an interoperability and execution layer on top.
