Published by

Kraken’s banking arm, Kraken Financial, has become the first crypto company in the U.S. to secure access to the Federal Reserve’s core payment systems via a Fed master account, allowing direct use of Fedwire for dollar settlements without intermediary banks. This milestone marks a major step toward integrating digital assets with traditional finance and comes amid a more crypto‑friendly regulatory climate. While the account doesn’t include all bank privileges, it promises faster, more reliable transactions and boosts Kraken’s institutional credibility.
