The U.S. Federal Reserve has proposed a new "payment account" framework, known as skinny master accounts, to allow crypto and fintech firms direct access to its payment and settlement systems. This move could benefit companies like Ripple, Circle, and Kraken by enabling faster and more efficient payment processing. While the proposal encourages innovation, it limits certain benefits such as intraday credit and interest on balances. The Fed is currently reviewing public feedback and has paused new Tier 3 master account approvals until December 2026 to finalize policies. Ripple's XRP and related services stand to gain significantly if the proposal is implemented, potentially enhancing cross-border payments and settlement speed.
