Coinbase Global shares rose on November 9 after the cryptocurrency exchange announced full federal approval for its national trust bank. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) completed its review following conditional approval in April.
Coinbase stock gained 3% during morning trading as investors assessed the announcement. The latest trading data also provides several near-term price levels to watch.
COIN Stock Price Rallies After Coinbase Banking Approval
COIN stock started the day at $131.36 and surged to $139 during Monday’s session. Shares traded at $139 as of 11:13 a.m. Eastern, up $4.56, or 3.3%, from Friday’s close of $134.76. COIN stock moved above its previous closing price after opening that mark below.
The gain followed a difficult stretch for Coinbase shareholders. Coinbase stock closed at $151.50 on November 4, then dropped to $136.82 the following day. The stock then finished November 6 at $134.76, after trading between $131.55 and $139.28.
Monday’s COIN Stock rally recovered part of those losses, although shares remained below their November 4 closing level. Trading volume reached 12.55 million shares on November 5, compared with 7.56 million on November 6.
Coinbase Receives Approval for US National Trust Bank
Coinbase announced on November 9 that the OCC had approved Coinbase National Trust Company on Friday, November 6. The federal regulator previously granted conditional approval on April 2.
Coinbase then worked through the requirements for opening the new institution, including compliance arrangements and regulatory reviews. The regulator completed that process before Coinbase disclosed the decision on Monday.
Coinbase already operates a custody business serving institutions that hold cryptocurrencies. Its earlier regulatory approvals included a New York BitLicense in 2017 and a limited-purpose trust charter in 2018.
The new national charter places the trust company’s activities within a federal banking framework. Coinbase said its custody experience and existing oversight helped prepare the business for the transition.
Vice Chairman Ryan VanGrack described the approval as the result of years spent seeking clearer rules and closer supervision. Coinbase has not announced a specific date for transferring customer custody accounts to the new trust company.
What Coinbase’s Federal Banking Charter Permits
The OCC charter covers trust activities, including holding and managing digital assets on behalf of customers. Coinbase also plans to develop payment-related services alongside its custody operations.
However, the charter does not allow the trust company to accept ordinary retail deposits or issue traditional commercial loans. Coinbase therefore will not operate as a conventional retail bank under this authorization.
The approval comes as more cryptocurrency businesses pursue national trust status. Ripple obtained its full federal trust charter in October, while Circle also received approval earlier in 2026. The GENIUS Act created a federal framework for payment stablecoins, although Coinbase has not announced new stablecoin issuance under this charter.
Banking groups have challenged the OCC’s trust-charter approach, with the Independent Community Bankers of America taking the matter to court.
The immediate COIN stock price outlook centers on Monday’s high of $139. A move above that level would put the November 6 high back in focus. The stock traded above $145 during the previous week, making $145.45 another historical reference if buying continues.
