The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has conditionally approved World Liberty Financial's application for a national trust bank charter, subject to regulatory and policy requirements. Upon approval, the company may operate under the name World Liberty Trust Company, National Association. World Liberty Financial's application documents show that the bank plans to issue USD-backed stablecoins and custody digital assets related to its USD1 token. U.S. President Donald Trump and his three sons are all affiliated with the company, with Trump family entities holding a 38% stake. Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with nine other senators, introduced the Terminating Presidential Banking Corruption Act following the approval. Elizabeth Warren stated that the OCC's move represents one of the most blatant conflicts of interest in the U.S. financial system. In January 2025, an Abu Dhabi investment company backed by UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan purchased a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million. Another UAE entity, MGX, previously used USD1 to invest $2 billion in Binance. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) has announced that the Pasteur hard fork will officially go live on the mainnet at 10:30 AM Beijing time on August 25 (02:30 UTC on August 25). Node operators are required to upgrade their clients to v1.7.7 in advance.This upgrade includes three improvements—BEP-682, BEP-695, and BEP-675—focusing on enhancing cross-chain security, validator governance mechanisms, and network throughput. Among them, BEP-682 will strengthen the BNB Chain cross-chain bridge verification mechanism, preventing permission bypass risks caused by duplicate signature counting by validators, thereby improving the security of cross-chain asset transfers. BEP-695 optimizes the validator key rotation mechanism, ensuring that old keys no longer retain management privileges after exit, while also fixing potential vulnerabilities related to slashing and governance voting.In terms of performance, BEP-675 reduces the time consumption caused by validators repeatedly executing transactions by optimizing the block construction process. In BNB Chain's internal QANet test environment, this solution increased throughput from 1,237 TPS to 2,324 TPS. While maintaining the 450-millisecond block time and the 100 million Gas block limit unchanged, the average Gas usage per block rose from 46.35 million to 84.15 million.BNB Chain stated that this upgrade is primarily aimed at validators and block builders, designed to provide greater capacity during network peak periods and advance the throughput expansion goals outlined in BNB Chain's roadmap for the second half of 2026.

Odaily News: Flap has announced the launch of bBroker Vault, powered by bStocks, on BNB Chain, combining Meme coin trading activity with NFT yields and tokenized stock ecosystems through a new mechanism.Under this mechanism, users are required to pay a fixed fee in corresponding tax tokens to mint bBroker NFTs, and the tokens paid are burned directly. Subsequently, trading fees from quote assets flowing into the Vault are automatically allocated to a "dividend pool" and a "floor price pool," enabling NFT holders to continuously earn dividends in quote assets without staking or locking up.Meanwhile, each bBroker NFT carries an on-chain floor price backed 1:1 by assets in the floor price pool, and holders can sell the NFT back to the Vault at any time to exit. Flap positions this mechanism as a novel on-chain economic model integrating Meme coins, NFTs, and stock assets.
