American startup Anchorage, which offers digital currency storage services, has become the first federal-level cryptocurrency bank in the history of the United States. The company received the corresponding license from the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which is part of the Treasury Department. Anchorage President Diogo Monica noted that the company is a national bank, but unlike other financial institutions, it works with cryptocurrency assets. He added that after receiving permission from the OCC, Anchorage will be subject to federal laws, not the laws of individual states, which will significantly facilitate its activities. In September 2020, the American cryptocurrency exchange Kraken also received a banking license. Now the company's clients can use digital assets to pay bills and investments, as well as receive salaries in them. The company currently serves clients in the state of Wyoming. However, it hopes to scale its operations worldwide.

Bitcoin is close to breaking the September "curse". Bitcoin has risen more than 10% this month, which contrasts with an average decline of 5.9% in the same month over the past decade, Bloomberg reports.
In addition, September 2024 could be the best September for Bitcoin in its entire history. The digital asset is steadily growing amid the beginning of monetary easing by global central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve System (Fed). The altcoin index has risen more than 20% this month.
"Bitcoin's correlation with the Fed's monetary policy is particularly high. Policy easing by other central banks also helps, of course," said Sean McNulty, director of trading at liquidity provider Arbelos Markets.
However, Orbit Markets co-founder Caroline Morone noted that Bitcoin's current price of around $65,000 is "slippery" because a large number of options contracts are set to expire this Friday, September 27. 0 reply
