Custodia Bank moves its quest for a Federal Reserve master account to the court of appeals by <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wyd.61107/gov.uscourts.wyd.61107.321.0_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">filing</a> a lawsuit in the United States Tenth Circuit. This action follows a verdict by District Judge Scott Skavdahl in March that denied the bank’s application to become an official part of the U.S. banking system. 
The Wyoming-based institution, founded by Bitcoin advocate Caitlin Long, aims to bridge crypto firms with traditional banking services.

Implications of Master Account Denial 
The <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/03/30/us-court-rejects-custodia-banks-fed-account-bid/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">refusal</a> to grant Custodia a master account has significant repercussions for its operational capabilities, notably limiting its competitiveness in providing custodial services for digital assets, a service increasingly offered by major U.S. banks.&nbsp; 
This master account would allow Custodia direct access to critical Federal Reserve services like Fedwire and the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, essential for efficient payment processing. 
Custodia’s ongoing struggle underscores the tension between emerging crypto enterprises and traditional financial regulations. The bank argues that the denial hampers its ability to compete on an equal footing with other financial institutions already enjoying these privileges.&nbsp; 
Additionally, in a separate legal maneuver, Custodia is contesting a $25,728.25 bill for deposition transcript costs demanded by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, asserting that such costs are premature at this litigation stage.&nbsp; 
This legal contention highlights the bank’s determined effort to overturn the previous court decision and redefine its standing in the financial sector.
