MrBeast Files Trademark for ‘MrBeast Financial’ Covering Crypto and Banking Services
The application covers decentralised exchanges, lending, insurance, and possible credit card services, but hasn’t yet reached USPTO review.
Any launch would require FinCEN registration and US regulatory approval, signalling MrBeast’s growing interest in fintech and crypto ventures.
James “MrBeast” Donaldson, the world’s most-followed YouTuber, has submitted a trademark application for “MrBeast Financial” through his company, Beast Holdings LLC. The filing, dated 13 October, was lodged with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and outlines plans for a mobile app offering cryptocurrency exchange, payment processing, and broader financial services.
According to the application, the platform would provide downloadable software for handling crypto transactions and software-as-a-service tools designed to manage digital assets and other financial products. The filing also covers services such as investment banking, insurance, microfinance lending, and financial education.
MrBeast Financial’s documentation also includes references to decentralised exchanges (DEXs) and the potential for users to trade cryptocurrencies directly through the platform. The filing’s scope appears to include a future credit card product as well.
Despite the extensive range of proposed services, trademark filings do not confirm that a product will be launched. The application has yet to be assigned to an examiner, and the USPTO process typically takes between 11.7 and 13 months before final registration or abandonment. Should the project proceed, it would require registration with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Services Business, state-level licensing, and potential approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission.
