The Future of Finance Already Exists — And It’s Regulated


World Blockchain Bank becomes the first blockchain-native institution in the world to receive a U.S. FinCEN MSB registration, redefining what’s possible in global finance.


East Hartford, Connecticut — While the world debates the hypothetical future of programmable banking, one pioneering company has already delivered it. World Blockchain Bank, through the WorldDex platform, has made history by becoming the first blockchain-native financial institution to be legally registered with the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Money Services Business (MSB) framework — and they did it in just 14 days.


In a landscape dominated by unregulated platforms, vague crypto experiments, and theoretical whitepapers, World Blockchain Bank has achieved what no one has in over a century of modern banking:


Registering a blockchain-native financial institution in full U.S. compliance

Securing a legal MSB license under 31 CFR 1022.380 of the Bank Secrecy Act

Building a global-ready bank that operates across 173+ jurisdictions, on-chain


“We didn’t just theorize the future of finance. We launched it, regulated.”— Stephan Schürmann, Founder, World Blockchain Bank

Historic First: FinCEN MSB Registration #31000286291846


On November 15, 2024, World Blockchain Bank received its official MSB registration. The license spans all 50 U.S. states, U.S. territories, and includes legal provisions for cross-border operations.


The structure enables services such as:


  • Multi-currency FX and tokenized assets

  • Crypto and fiat wallet infrastructure

  • Web3-native compliance and reporting tools

  • Cross-border payment protocols with zero dependence on traditional correspondent banking


This accomplishment proves that blockchain-native financial entities can be legally registered, auditable, and globally operational — without sacrificing speed, transparency, or regulatory alignment.


Vision Realized: A Future Predicted by Thomas Frey Six Month Later, Already Delivered by WorldDex and World Blockchain Bank in November 2024


Six month later, in an April 17, 2025 article titled “Twelve Financial Superpowers We Haven’t Invented Yet”, futurist Thomas Frey described concepts like programmable banking, AI-native treasuries, and trustless inheritance systems as the next leap in finance.

“We need new money—the kind that wasn’t possible before—but suddenly, now is.”— Thomas Frey, Futurist Speaker

World Blockchain Bank built that future vision long before others even spoke about it. World Blockchain Bank represents the realization of that vision, not a projection. It bridges the trust gap between decentralized innovation and sovereign law — and it does so with certified, rapid deployment that bypasses the gatekeepers of legacy banking.


Join the Financial Renaissance — In Just 14 Days


Through WorldDex, clients can now launch their own FinCEN-registered financial institution in 7–14 working days, complete with:


  • U.S. Tax EIN

  • D-U-N-S® Number

  • Tokenized compliance frameworks

  • Wallet + Trustline DNS infrastructure

  • Optional DAO, DeFi, and NFT-layered features


This is not a workaround. It is not an offshore shell. It is a real U.S.-registered FINCEN MSB-licensed financial entity, blockchain-native, and fully enforceable.
