A trade organization representing community banks sued a US bank regulator Friday, ​claiming that its decision to grant limited bank charters ‌to cryptocurrency firms exceeds its regulatory authority.

The Independent Community Bankers of America, which represents banks that typically have less than $10 billion in assets, filed the suit in the US District ​Court for the District of Columbia.

The group said the Office ​of the Comptroller of the Currency must revoke a recent ⁠rule and related guidance smoothing the way for crypto firms ​to apply for national trust bank charters. The group argued the move grants legitimacy ​to crypto firms without sufficient safeguards.

Under President Donald ​Trump, the regulator ​has granted several ⁠such charters to firms primarily engaging in crypto activities and other fintechs. The national trust bank charters ​allow companies to manage and hold assets on ​behalf of ⁠customers and settle payments faster. The license does not, however, allow the companies to take cash deposits or make loans.

But ICBA argued in its ⁠lawsuit ​that granting such charters exceeds the regulator's ​authority and Congress' intent, while arguing traditional banks must adhere to stricter regulatory requirements ​and oversight under their charters.
