Telcoin Digital Asset Bank has announced that US users can now open a bank account natively connected to its bank-issued eUSD stablecoin, a move the company says makes it the first to link US bank accounts directly to on-chain dollars.
According to a press release dated June 23, 2026, the accounts are accessible through the Telcoin Wallet and give users a single regulated account for holding dollars, making payments, and interacting with digital assets. The structure also permits faster payments, lower transfer costs, and round-the-clock access to financial services on blockchain rails.
Unlike most crypto-linked banking products that rely on third-party ramps or fragmented balances spread across multiple apps, Telcoin's model connects banking rails directly to eUSD at the base layer. The bank is the only blockchain bank explicitly authorised to connect US consumers to decentralised finance (DeFi) under a regulated framework.

The foundation for the launch was laid in November 2025, when Telcoin received final charter approval from the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance, becoming the first Digital Asset Depository Institution (DADI) in the United States. The charter was enabled by the Nebraska Financial Innovation Act, which Telcoin helped develop in 2021.
The eUSD stablecoin underpinning the accounts is fully backed by US dollar deposits and short-term Treasuries held in regulated reserves, setting it apart from offshore or non-bank stablecoin issuers. The bank's launch also aligns with the passage of the federal GENIUS Act, which provides formal guidance for stablecoin issuers operating in the US.
Paul Neuner, Founder and CEO of Telcoin, said: "Today brings the first true crypto bank to the US market." He added that the goal is to prove payments, finance, and banking can happen natively on-chain rather than simply offering another place to hold digital assets.
Looking ahead, Telcoin Digital Asset Bank plans to expand into merchant and institutional accounts, add compliant yield on eUSD balances, and launch debit card functionality. The company is also preparing the Telcoin Network, a layer-1 blockchain validated by telecommunications networks, which it says will further extend the reach of eUSD globally.
