What happened
Rain filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish Rain National Trust Bank (RNTB) in New York. If approved, RNTB will provide fiduciary custody of digital assets and US dollars, manage reserves for stablecoin issuers, and handle stablecoin issuance and redemption for institutional clients. Brandon Soto is proposed to serve as the President and CEO of the proposed bank.

Why it matters
The proposed bank will operate under federal supervision, bringing custody, reserve management, and stablecoin functions under the purview of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. RNTB will specifically handle digital asset custody and stablecoin operations for institutional clients, but it will not accept deposits or make commercial loans.
