Ex-Solicitor General Joins Fight as Custodia Bank Appeals Fed's Crypto Rejection Amid Rising Political Interest
July 5, 2024Former US Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, along with other prominent figures, has joined Custodia Bank in appealing for a Master Account from the Federal Reserve.
The bank's rejection was due to its ties to the crypto industry, raising concerns about regulatory hurdles for digital asset firms.
An amicus brief argues that this rejection is part of a deliberate attempt to 'debank' crypto firms.
The brief references potential implications from a recent Supreme Court decision on regulatory deference.
