Zero Hash has launched the Zero Hash Trust Company, a new entity chartered by the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. This move allows the firm to act as a qualified custodian for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), manage retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, and handle stablecoin issuance and custody. The launch expands Zero Hash's regulatory footprint, adding to its existing status as a FinCEN-registered Money Service Business and a licensed money transmitter in 51 U.S. jurisdictions.

By establishing a chartered trust, Zero Hash can now offer a more robust suite of services for businesses looking to integrate cryptocurrency and stablecoin functionalities. In conjunction with this development, the company has appointed David Hannigan, CISO of NuBank, and Mary Ruppert to its Board of Directors, strengthening its governance and security oversight. This strategic expansion signals a growing trend of crypto infrastructure providers seeking to offer regulated, turnkey solutions for a wider range of financial institutions.
