Kraken's Federal Reserve master account raises concerns among banks and lawmakers over potential risks to the U.S. financial system, including money-laundering and operational issues.

Kraken's limited-purpose Federal Reserve master account has restrictions, including no interest on reserves and no access to emergency lending, aiming to mitigate risks.

Kraken's direct access to the Federal Reserve's payment system marks a significant milestone for institutional crypto adoption, with potential implications for leverage and market dynamics.
