Gate.io News, citing crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, reports that Custodia Bank, a crypto bank in Wyoming, has filed an application with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting a review of whether the Federal Reserve Bank has the authority to refuse to open master accounts for state-chartered banks that meet eligibility requirements. Custodia said the decision by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City to reject its application changed the balance of regulatory authority between state and federal banks and involves constitutional issues such as the appointment and powers of the Federal Reserve Bank’s president. Previously, both the U.S. District Court for Wyoming and the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals supported the Fed’s position, finding that it has broad discretion to refuse Custodia a master account. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City said that its rejection of Custodia’s application in 2023 was mainly driven by concerns about its crypto-centered business model.

State banks vs the Federal Reserve over the boundaries of authority—this case’s ruling could affect the compliance path for all crypto custodians, worth keeping an eye on.

Custodia has taken this case to the Supreme Court, and it’s basically a bet on whether the regulatory framework will be rewritten.
