Wen dem dey find OCC national trust bank charter, e dey strong Paxos regulatory standing and fit make people trust dia stablecoins more. Stablecoins like PYUSD and USDP na pegged assets, e no likely say price go change just because of dis development. For short term, traders fit see the positive compliance outcome but dem no go expect sharp price movement. For long term, federal oversight fit boost trust and adoption for Paxos stablecoins and crypto banking services, e fit benefit the company but e no go affect the stablecoin peg stability.
