UNM Stock News Headlines

Trump's crypto bank just got approved
Last month I told investors that a Trump-backed crypto bank could be approved any day. On August 14, it was. Federal regulators granted conditional approval to World Liberty Trust Company… a nationally chartered trust bank tied to the Trump family's crypto venture. Most investors still haven't processed what that means. This bank exists to do one thing. Issue, redeem, custody and back USD1… the stablecoin that has now crossed $4 billion in circulation. The bank isn't operating yet. There are conditions to satisfy first… capital minimums, an audit manager, a sign-off on the business plan. Which means the money hasn't moved yet.tc pixel
