(@capital_3x) reported
🚨 Breaking: @krakenfx got a Federal Reserve “master account,” which is basically a direct connection to the main U.S. payment system that banks use to move dollars. That’s a big deal because it can let Kraken move USD more directly, instead of depending as much on other banks to process/settle payments. Why it’s important: 1. It can make moving money faster and more reliable, because there’s one less “middleman bank” in the chain. 2. It can reduce the risk of sudden disruptions (for example, when partner banks change rules or cut off services). 3. It’s a strong “mainstream finance” signal: it suggests some crypto companies may be getting closer to operating on the same infrastructure as traditional financial institutions. One important detail: reports say this doesn’t necessarily give Kraken all the same benefits normal banks get (for example, it may not earn interest on money held at the Fed), so it’s more about better access to payment rails than a guaranteed new profit source.

@SenLummis @krakenfx Smart banks right now might be looking to do big M&A in the blockchain / crypto space. Why wouldn't you? Staring down the barrel. Might as we issue buy some assets with this stock as high as it is before stablecoin yields come, but some big names out there that would cash out.

@SenLummis @krakenfx **** or get off the pot, Senator. You keep saying for years how all of this nonsense helps Americans and all that we crypto holders have gotten is the shaft. The age of blind loyalty is over. We are broke and you’ve done nothing.

@paulbarron @krakenfx @Ripple So explain how Ripple getting this access affects the price of XRP? Does this mean they will stop using sales of XRP to fund their operation? Will they stop dumping coins or is this more bullshit PR that adds nothing to XRP?

@YuanCapitalplus @krakenfx Kraken Financial's limited-purpose Fed master account (as a Wyoming SPDI) gives direct access to core payment rails like Fedwire for real-time, high-volume USD settlements without intermediary banks. This cuts costs, speeds up transfers, and reduces counterparty risk for institutional clients. A standard bank account is a customer deposit at a commercial bank (fractional reserve, with services like checks/ACH/debit). The bank uses its own master account at the Fed for backend clearing. For Kraken users: means more reliable, integrated fiat-crypto flows vs. relying on partner banks that can restrict crypto. Rollout is phased (institutional first, 1-year term with limits).

@SenLummis @krakenfx @krakenfx 5 years of "banking the unbanked" to end up... a bank. Direct access to Fed rails means you're no longer the alternative. You're just another counter-party with a nicer logo. The system won. Again.

@krakenfx Federal Reserve access finally makes crypto “real” for the people who spend all day pretending it isn't. Good luck explaining the 24/7 uptime to bankers who close at 4 PM.

UPDATE: @krakenfx just bridged the gap. 🌉 And why it matters for @Ripple By securing a Federal Reserve Master Account, Kraken is no longer "outside" the system; it is on the same Fedwire rails as JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. This is BIG! Why I think @Ripple is next Ripple’s National Trust Bank charter (granted Dec '25) was the setup. Direct Fed access is the final piece for RLUSD to settle at bank-scale. The "CLARITY Act" momentum is forcing the Fed’s hand. See what's happening from DC Insiders right now - the tide is shifting. The "Crypto vs. Banks" battle is over. But the war is just beginning. 📈

@Invisiblami @invest @krakenfx Coinbase hasn't applied for a direct Federal Reserve master account like Kraken's limited-purpose one. They filed for a national trust bank charter with the OCC in Oct 2025, seeking potential Fed membership and access down the line—but nothing approved yet. Kraken remains the first crypto firm to get it.

@krakenfx @martypartymusic This is bigger than most people realize. Direct access to the Federal Reserve payment rails means crypto is no longer operating outside the system… It’s plugging directly into it.👏👏

@HammudyStore @krakenfx This Kraken milestone gives their Wyoming bank direct Fedwire access—no more intermediary banks for USD settlements. For the crypto industry: - Faster, cheaper on/off-ramps for institutions (cuts delays & fees). - Lower settlement risks and operational costs. - Boosts legitimacy, drawing more TradFi capital. - Precedent for others to plug into core US payments rails. It's a limited pilot (1-year term, phased), but marks crypto maturing into mainstream infrastructure.

@krakensupport idk what else a DM could do. Just repair the thing. I'm talking about the regular app, Kraken, Idk for FX though. It's just awful. I've NEVER seen an app this slow in my entire life on a smart phone. Literally waiting 60 seconds. I usually give up and go on my laptop instead.

@penguin_pmkt @krakenfx @krakensupport It's unbelievable how bad support is for these crypto sites. Same thing happened to me on Coinbase, they locked my account randomly and then support ghosted me. Luckily I was able to transfer to another exchange. Now I also use Kraken, I hope you get your money back.

@kiritgala2 @SenLummis @krakenfx The one-year initial term for Kraken Financial's Fed master account is standard under the Federal Reserve's External Link Account Access Guidelines for Tier 3 entities (like Wyoming SPDIs). The Kansas City Fed approved this limited-purpose account with tailored restrictions to monitor risks, enable phased rollout for institutional fiat transfers, and assess performance before any extension. It's essentially a supervised pilot for crypto-native firms entering core payment rails. No other crypto firms have one yet.

🚨BREAKING: Senator Lummis Says Kraken ENTERING Federal Reserve PAYMENT System Is “BEGINNING of the 21st Century Financial Industry” 👀🔥 U.S. Senator @SenLummis has reacted to the historic news that @krakenfx just became the FIRST crypto company to gain DIRECT access to the U.S. payment system. 🇺🇸 This means crypto companies can now begin integrating crypto with the U.S. DOLLAR inside the core BANKING infrastructure. 🤯 Lummis said that in the future, BANKS may BUY CRYPTO COMPANIES and crypto firms may buy BANKS, creating a FULLY integrated financial system where institutions serve both U.S. dollars and digital assets like $XRP, $BTC & others. 😳🫣🔥 “This is the beginning of the 21st-century financial services industry.” 🚀
