Custodia Bank loses lawsuit as federal court rejects request to review Federal Reserve's authority

A few days after the Federal Reserve granted a limited master account to a certain exchange, crypto bank Custodia’s years-long legal battle with the Fed ended in failure. The federal court rejected Custodia Bank’s request to review the Federal Reserve’s ultimate authority over master account decisions. Currently, regional Federal Reserve banks have opened limited master accounts to certain exchanges, and the national Federal Reserve Board is also formulating similar nationwide policies.
