Ayone else watching this because of WLFI's trust bank news?
AIFC is a shareholder/partner of WLFI (World Liberty Financial), the stablecoin company \~38% owned by the Trump family. WLFI just got preliminary conditional OCC approval (8/17) for a national trust bank, and AIFC put out a press release tied to it. Circle(another digital asset national fund) went conditional to full OCC approval in \~7 months. Given how things seem to move faster for the Trump family I can't imagine this doesn't get done in same or faster time.
AIFC's at $0.47 at current time, up from $0.42, a \~12% move, though volume here is thin so take the % with a grain of salt. Still off its 52-week high of $9.76 but this could be catalyst to get things moving, the price had been flat in the past few weeks and seems to have stopped a long downtrend.
Trump family stake means built-in visibility, could accelerate attention if this clears.
