WLFI Trust Bank Approval and StringZ Stake Details
World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
cryptoticker.io reports that StringZ Holding RSC allegedly holds a 49 percent stake in WLTC Holdings LLC, the entity behind World Liberty Trust Company. This figure, cited from the Wall Street Journal, remains unconfirmed and is not explicitly stated in the OCC filings. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted preliminary conditional approval to World Liberty Trust Company, N.A. on August 14, 2026.
This status is not final authorization to begin operations, as pre-opening conditions must still be met. The institution is a national trust company focused on fiduciary, custody, and settlement services rather than conventional lending. Its planned services include USD1 issuance and redemption, reserve management, and digital custody for clients.
The application specifies that the company will not carry FDIC deposit insurance. StringZ is named in Corporate Decision #1385 with passivity commitments covering its indirect stake. The precise purchase price, voting rights, and ultimate beneficial owners are not disclosed in the public record. The report distinguishes between the reported transaction and the actual regulatory state of the charter process.
