Telcoin, Inc. is set to hold a pivotal hearing on its application to become the first regulated digital asset bank in the United States.
The hearing, scheduled for December 5, 2024, will be an important step in the company’s efforts to secure a digital asset depository charter under the Nebraska Financial Innovation Act (LB 1074, 2024).

Telcoin’s application to join a FED-regulated bank
The Digital Asset Depository Charter application submitted to the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance has already made significant progress.
In September 2024, Telcoin received confirmation that its application to establish Telcoin Bank, a digital asset bank, was deemed complete. This marks an important milestone for the company, which has worked closely with key figures such as Assemblyman Mike Flood, who helped draft the Nebraska Financial Innovation Act of 2021. Mike Flood won the U.S. House seat representing Nebraska’s capital with Trump’s endorsement. The city and surrounding areas in the just concluded US election.
The Nebraska Financial Innovation Act, part of the broader Nebraska Innovation Act, has been critical in furthering the state’s efforts to establish itself as a leader in digital asset regulation.
If its Digital Asset Depository Charter application is approved, Telcoin Bank will become a global pioneer as the first digital asset bank in the United States and the first regulated stablecoin issuer, which the company calls “digital cash.”
Telcoin’s stablecoin will form the backbone for Telcoin’s remittance services and is designed to transform the $160 billion stablecoin market by providing a more useful and integrated form of cryptocurrency. The company is also positioning Digital Cash as a solution for mainstream global payments, making it easier to carry out direct merchant payments and enabling seamless connectivity with decentralized finance (DeFi).
CEO Paul Neuner emphasized the importance of this development in Telcoin’s latest community update. He noted that the December 5 public hearing is an important step toward approval of Telcoin Bank’s formal charter, expected in early 2025.
