A significant move in the crypto space: World Liberty Financial, the platform co-founded by U.S. President Trump, is launching a new division aimed at securing a bank charter. Documents from the regulatory filing reveal the operation is actively hiring for at least one critical position.

This development signals a notable shift toward institutional legitimacy within the crypto sector. The pursuit of a formal banking license represents a major step for platforms looking to bridge traditional finance and digital assets. The job openings hint at rapid expansion plans as the division prepares for this regulatory milestone.

For those watching the broader crypto-to-finance convergence, this is one to keep an eye on—it reflects ongoing efforts by major players to integrate deeper into the regulated financial ecosystem.

Regarding the bank license... Is it real or not? Let's see when we get it in hand. There are a bunch of pitfalls on the regulatory side.

Old Wang is here again, and it's the same story with the banking license. To put it simply, he just wants to exit; compliance is the key to lasting longer... We'll have to see how TradFi reacts to this move.

Is the bank license thing... real or fake? Trump's move has really boosted the crypto community's confidence --- Here we go again with compliance; is this really reliable or just a scam? --- Wait, can they really get a bank license? Traditional finance is about to change completely --- Cryptocurrency is finally becoming "legitimate," which feels a bit strange haha --- If this happens, how will other platforms operate... --- Rapid freezing and integration, feels like the beginning of a new era --- Getting a license is easy, reliable operation is the real challenge --- Is this another new scam to harvest retail investors... --- Regulation + industry leaders, this combination is truly top-notch
