에 게시 됨 by Cointele | 에 게시 됨

The Wyoming State Banking Board voted unanimously to grant Avanti a bank charter.

According to an Oct. 28 announcement from Avanti, The Wyoming State Banking Board voted 8-0 to grant the financial institution a bank charter.

The approval will allow Avanti to operate the new crypto-friendly bank under the name Avanti Bank & Trust as well as its "Tokenized U.S. dollar" Avit, designed to modernize USD payments.

Avanti said it planned to open for customers in early 2021, but will be limited to high minimum balance accounts.

"Avanti's mission is to provide a compliant bridge between the traditional and digital asset financial systems, with the strictest level of institutional custody standards," said Avanti founder and CEO Caitlin Long:."Currently the only type of U.S. financial institution that can provide final and simultaneous settlement of trades between digital assets and the U.S. dollar - because it is the only type currently approved to handle both within the same legal entity - is a Wyoming special purpose depository institution like Avanti."
