NORFOLK, Neb. — Telcoin has received final charter approval from the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance to launch Telcoin Digital Asset Bank, the first Digital Asset Depository Institution in the United States. This makes Telcoin the first regulated blockchain bank, bridging traditional banking and decentralized finance (DeFi). The bank’s flagship product, eUSD, will be the first U.S. bank-issued on-chain dollar stablecoin, fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits and short-term Treasuries. eUSD offers consumers and businesses a secure, transparent, and compliant way to use Digital Cash for payments, remittances, and savings. “Our charter makes history—not just for Telcoin, but for the entire U.S. banking system,” said Paul Neuner, Telcoin Founder and CEO. “We’re proving that a bank can responsibly issue on-chain Digital Cash and operate in full alignment with regulators.” The approval coincides with the new GENIUS Act, which establishes federal guidance for digital assets and stablecoins. Unlike non-bank stablecoin issuers, Telcoin’s model integrates directly with the U.S. banking system, addressing systemic risk concerns while enabling access to blockchain-powered finance. Telcoin Digital Asset Bank also aims to help community banks nationwide connect safely to blockchain finance, strengthening their services and relevance in the digital era. By aligning digital assets within a regulated framework, Telcoin is modernizing payments, empowering small businesses, and setting a new standard for how blockchain and banking can work together. With operations across 171 countries, Telcoin continues to redefine global finance—securely, compliantly, and at the speed of the internet. Learn more at www.telco.in

The Telcoin Association has announced that TEL is now listed on Uphold, giving the Telcoin Network’s token exposure to over 10 million users across 140+ countries. Uphold’s regulated, multi-asset platform—spanning crypto, fiat, commodities, and equities—offers TEL immediate global accessibility ahead of the Telcoin Network’s upcoming mainnet launch. Users can now buy, sell, and hold TEL on Uphold with Ethereum support live and Polygon integration coming soon. The listing strengthens liquidity and positions the community for the network’s transition to live operations, where mobile operators will act as validators. Telcoin says this partnership links Uphold’s established financial infrastructure with Telcoin’s telecom-grade blockchain network designed to reach billions of mobile subscribers. Uphold brings strong regulatory credentials (FinCEN, FCA, EU oversight) and industry certifications, while the Telcoin Association continues governing the network and its validator ecosystem through its Swiss Verein structure.

The final tranche of tokens under TELIP: Banking the Internet of Money has been deposited, marking a key milestone in Telcoin governance. The Telcoin Association has now completed the escrow of 5 billion TEL tokens, as outlined in TELIP: Banking the Internet of Money. The remaining tokens have been placed in secure custody with Anchorage Digital and BitGo, two regulated digital-asset custodians. This marks the fulfilment of the process defined in the proposal, which was authored by Paul Neuner (CEO of Telcoin Holdings Pte Ltd) and approved in August 2025. The initiative converts dormant treasury assets into productive capital to support the launch and global expansion of Telcoin’s Digital Asset Bank. Under the terms of the TELIP, the 5 billion TEL serve as collateral to secure equity financing for Telcoin Holdings and its subsidiaries. In return, the Association receives a 5% annual yield via SAFE notes, dedicated digital-asset banking services for the ecosystem, and enhanced commercial tools for validators, developers, and users. The completion of this escrow represents a major governance milestone and a step toward Telcoin’s broader vision of connecting traditional banking and blockchain finance. According to the proposal, the tokens are expected to return to the Association within two years, following the completion of financing milestones and bank capitalization. This development strengthens the foundation for the upcoming launch of Telcoin Bank and the introduction of regulated digital-cash stablecoins such as eUSD, eJPY, and eGBP, building toward a unified financial system for billions of mobile users worldwide.
