Zerohash back for second effort at OCC trust bank charter

Crypto infrastructure firm Zerohash is making a second attempt to obtain a U.S. trust bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), according to CoinDesk. The company did not receive approval during its initial application and has now returned with a proposal it described as narrower in scope. The renewed effort places Zerohash back in the regulatory process as it seeks approval for a U.S. charter. CoinDesk reported the development on Aug. 25, 2026. The source material did not provide details on the specific activities covered by the revised application, the timing of the filing or any response from the OCC.
