Protego Trust Bank

aid: protego-trust-bank
name: Protego Trust Bank
description: 'Protego Trust Bank is a Seattle, Washington digital-asset trust bank built for institutional clients, offering
  crypto-asset custody, trading, lending/borrowing and issuer services, with custody-related fiduciary services such as staking-as-a-service,
  protocol governance and voting, and fork and airdrop handling. Protego Trust Company received OCC conditional approval in
  February 2021 to convert into a national trust bank; that approval lapsed in February 2023 after pre-conversion requirements
  were not met. On 13 February 2026 the OCC granted parent Protego Holdings Corporation preliminary conditional approval (Corporate
  Decision #1366, control number 2025-Charter-342009) to charter National Digital Trust Company, Seattle. Protego''s marketing
  material has described API endpoints for trading and liquidity aggregation, but the company publishes no public developer
  portal, API reference or machine-readable contract, and as of this profile its own web properties do not complete a TLS
  handshake.'

  detail: Protego has no reachable web surface at all - protegotrust.com, www.protegotrust.com and protegotrust.co each terminate
    the TLS handshake with a fatal internal_error alert and present no certificate (Webflow proxy hosts with no provisioned
    certificate), plain HTTP 301s into that same dead origin, api/docs/developer subdomains do not resolve, and no developer
    portal, API reference or spec appears at any Protego URL in the public web archive going back to 2020.
