The two-charter stack separates credit from crypto custody and puts the custody side in the federal lane the OCC conditionally approved for Circle, Ripple, Paxos, BitGo and Fidelity Digital Assets on December 12, 2025.

Don’t let “bank” fog yer spyglass: Builders Bank would be uninsured and take neither deposits nor loans, so Block be buying a federal custody wrapper, not a balance-sheet engine. With Cash App already commanding distribution, the prize be hauling custody and stablecoin plumbing under one hull instead of paying third-party banks. Will Block migrate Cash App customers’ BTC into Builders Bank, and will that cargo sit in bankruptcy-remote, on-chain-segregated wallets? 🦑
