ChainCatcher Сообщение, организация в области криптовалют BlockchainAssn подала заявление в качестве друга суда, поддерживая заявку Custodia Bank в Верховный суд США, призывая суд рассмотреть, имеет ли Федеральный резервный банк округа право отказать в доступе к основному счету квалифицированным государственным банкам с лицензией. Организация предупредила, что поддержка нижестоящими судами решения Федеральной резервной системы предоставляет центральному банку широкие полномочия, позволяя ему отменять право на банковские услуги для отраслей или компаний, которые он не признает, и фактически отвергать, какие государственные банки с лицензией могут работать.Тем временем, Федеральному резервному банку Канзас-Сити разрешено продлить срок ответа на заявку Custodia до 11 сентября.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, что банк Custodia подал заявку на пересмотр в Верховный суд США с просьбой подтвердить, имеет ли президент регионального федерального резервного банка право отказать в предоставлении основного счета для учреждения. Банк Custodia многократно запрашивал основной счет в Федеральной резервной системе, но в 2023 году получил отказ от Федеральной резервной системы, ссылаясь на значительные риски безопасности и устойчивости, связанные с его новой бизнес-моделью и предполагаемым акцентом на криптоактивах.Затем банк Custodia подал апелляцию в Апелляционный суд десятого округа США, который в 2024 году поддержал Федеральный резервный банк Канзас-Сити. Верховный суд США решит в октябре, будет ли он рассматривать это дело.

Сообщение ChainCatcher, согласно отчету Bloomberg, криптобанк Custodia Bank подал петицию в Верховный суд США с просьбой рассмотреть дело о "незаконном отказе в доступе к платежной системе Федеральной резервной системы". Custodia подала заявку на основной счет в Федеральный резерв Канзас-Сити в 2020 году, но Федеральный резерв отказал в 2023 году, сославшись на "бизнес-модель, сосредоточенную на деятельности, связанной с криптоактивами".Custodia подала иск, но Апелляционный суд десятого округа подтвердил решение Федерального резерва. В петиции Custodia утверждает, что дело поднимает "крайне важный вопрос" — может ли региональный резервный банк отменить решение о лицензировании государственного банка, отказав в услугах центрального банка.Основатель и CEO Custodia Кэтлин Лонг заявила, что штат Вайоминг принял десятки законов для создания дружелюбной к криптовалютам среды, но председатель Федерального резерва Канзас-Сити "не согласен с политическим выбором Вайоминга". Верховный суд решит, будет ли рассматривать это дело после перерыва в октябре.

According to Bits.media, Ivan Chebeskov, the Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, stated that the final version of the government's cryptocurrency market regulation bill will retain the ban on transfers from Russian custodial wallets to non-custodial foreign wallets. More lenient conditions will only apply to participants in foreign trade activities, namely importers. Chebeskov mentioned that after the law comes into effect, the effectiveness of the new regulatory system will be analyzed, and in the future, the use of non-custodial wallets may be allowed in an experimental mode. The final version of the bill will be ready next week, and the Deputy Minister hopes it can be passed before the end of the State Duma's spring session.Previously, the Duma's Financial Market Committee opposed the central bank's stance on banning transfers to non-custodial wallets and proposed providing judicial protection for all cryptocurrency asset holders. The bill was passed in the first reading on April 21, stipulating that starting July 1, Russians and companies can only purchase digital assets through licensed intermediaries, and access to foreign cryptocurrency platforms must go through a list approved by the central bank, prohibiting access to exchanges that impose sanctions on Russia.

According to market news, the Korean National Tax Service has issued a tender announcement, planning to introduce cryptocurrency transaction tracking software from institutions such as Chainalysis and TRM Labs to monitor cryptocurrency transaction records in real-time, track hidden assets of suspected tax evaders, and combat tax evasion behaviors through disguised inheritance, gifting, and offshore tax evasion using cryptocurrency.The system can track approximately 70 million types of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and stablecoins, covering 45 blockchain layers. It also has the capability to identify "mixing" money laundering techniques with its "de-mixing" ability and can perform a certain degree of identity recognition for non-custodial wallets such as MetaMask and Phantom. This is the third time the National Tax Service has introduced related solutions since 2024, with plans to complete system construction in June and officially put it into use starting in July.

According to The Block, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit voted 7 to 3 to deny Custodia Bank's request for an en banc review, upholding the October 2025 panel's ruling that the Federal Reserve has the authority to approve or deny master account applications from eligible institutions.Notably, just days ago, the Kansas City Fed granted Kraken its first limited cryptocurrency master account, while the Federal Reserve is also developing a broader "streamlined master account" framework.Custodia is a Wyoming-chartered special purpose depository institution founded by Wall Street veteran Caitlin Long. The company first applied for a master account in October 2020. The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank confirmed in early 2021 that there were "no significant issues" with the application, but ultimately denied it in January 2023 due to concerns about the bank's focus on a cryptocurrency business model.Custodia filed a lawsuit in June 2022, initially regarding a 19-month delay in approval, and later argued that the Currency Control Act grants any eligible depository institution the right to obtain a master account by law. Courts at all levels dismissed the lawsuit.

According to CoinDesk, the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance has released a longitudinal study on the resilience of Bitcoin's network physical infrastructure, covering 11 years of peer-to-peer network data and 68 verified submarine cable failure events.The study shows that 72% to 92% of global multinational submarine cables need to fail simultaneously for significant node disconnections to occur in the Bitcoin network. Based on 1,000 Monte Carlo simulations for each scenario, over 87% of real failure events had less than a 5% impact on nodes, and the correlation coefficient between cable failures and Bitcoin prices is close to zero (-0.02). The study also reveals a significant asymmetry between random failures and directed attacks: if an attacker targets key hub cables, the destruction threshold will drop sharply to 20%; if directed attacks target the five largest hosting service providers—Hetzner, OVH, Comcast, Amazon, and Google Cloud—removing just 5% of routing capacity could cause a similar impact.

According to CoinDesk, Morgan Stanley has submitted an S-1 form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), disclosing that its planned Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust will use Coinbase Custody and Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) as Bitcoin custodians.According to the submitted documents, the trust will primarily use offline cold storage to safeguard Bitcoin, with private keys disconnected from the internet to reduce the risk of hacking. BNY Mellon will also serve as the fund administrator, transfer agent, and cash custodian, responsible for handling accounting, shareholder records, and cash flow related to ETF transactions.

Hyperliquid lobbying organization "Hyperliquid Policy Center" CEO Jake Chervinsky posted on the X platform stating that front-end interfaces connecting decentralized trading protocols should not be required to perform KYC. U.S. law does not, and should not, mandate non-custodial software developers to "monitor" users without a search warrant, as financial privacy is a fundamental right.While regulators cannot turn a blind eye to illegal financial activities on-chain, even if their scale is much smaller than that of the traditional financial system (TradFi), the solution is not to simply apply outdated regulatory rules that exclude billions from the financial system to new technologies that can provide better solutions.

Data shows that the Ether.fi card currently accounts for nearly half of the crypto native payment card transaction volume, becoming one of the leading products in this field. Meanwhile, the OP Stack processed approximately 3.6 billion transactions in the second half of 2025, accounting for 13% of the total crypto transaction volume during the same period, providing high throughput infrastructure support for this migration.
