Fed seeks input on account type attractive to crypto firms

The Federal Reserve is seeking public feedback on a new “payment account” which could give fintechs and crypto companies easier access to the central bank's systems.

The US Federal Reserve is requesting public input on its proposed “payment account,” dubbed a “skinny master account” which fintechs and crypto firms are drawn to as it would allow access to the central bank without needing the typical approvals. 

"These new payment accounts would support innovation while keeping the payments system safe," Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Friday. In October, Waller recommended that the Fed explore the idea of implementing payment accounts to clear and settle certain transaction activities of eligible financial institutions.

Waller added the Fed is introducing the payment accounts feature to reflect the “rapid developments” in the payments industry that have led to “innovative approaches to banking” and new changes in business models.

Will the Fed’s Big Rate Decision Ignite the Next Leg of the Crypto Rally?

The post Will the Fed’s Big Rate Decision Ignite the Next Leg of the Crypto Rally? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is expected to begin slashing interest rates on Wednesday, with analysts expecting a 25 basis point (bps) cut and a boost to risk asset prices in the long term. Crypto prices are strongly correlated with liquidity cycles, Coin Bureau founder and market analyst Nic Puckrin said. However, while lower interest rates tend to raise asset prices long-term, Puckrin warned of a short-term price correction.   “The main risk is that the move is already priced in, Puckrin said, adding, “hope is high and there’s a big chance of a ‘sell the news’ pullback. When that happens, speculative corners, memecoins in particular, are most vulnerable.” A chart that plots hawkish or dovish signals from the Federal Reserve.

Oxford Economics, an advisory company, forecast a maximum of two interest rate cuts in 2025. Ryan Sweet, chief US economist at the company, said the three cuts were “overly optimistic,” despite the Federal Reserve slashing rates earlier than expected. The crypto community and investors across markets have been anticipating interest rate cuts following downward revisions of over 900,000 jobs for 2025, signaling a weakening job market in the US and deteriorating macroeconomic fundamentals. The unemployment rate has spiked since 2024, giving the Federal Reserve more reasons to slash interest rates.
