Kraken has just secured the FIRST master account of
#ReservaFederal for a company of
#Criptomonedas Now Custodia, Anchorage, and the U.S. banking partner of
#Ripple are also seeking access to the Fed's payment channels.
The wall between cryptocurrencies and central banking is starting to crack.
$XRP was built for this change.
Indeed, a historic milestone in the integration of cryptocurrencies with the traditional U.S. banking system has been confirmed.
Kraken makes history: As of March 4, 2026, Kraken Financial (the banking subsidiary of Kraken) became the first native crypto-asset company to obtain a master account from the Federal Reserve (Fed) of the U.S..
Direct access: This allows Kraken to directly access the Fed's payment systems, including Fedwire, without relying on intermediary banks, streamlining dollar transfers for its institutional clients.
The situation of others: While Kraken obtained this approval (initially structured as a "one-year pilot" with limitations, known as a "skinny master account"), other companies like Custodia Bank have faced legal rejections in their attempts to gain this access, and Anchorage Digital has also sought these channels.
Ripple: It is reported that the U.S. banking partner of Ripple has applied for Fed accounts, seeking to integrate into this new phase.
This advancement indicates a more open regulation under the current administration, cracking the wall between central banking and blockchain technology.
