Payments Innovation
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller suggested creating a 'skinny' master account to give compliant crypto firms, including stablecoin issuers, limited direct access to Fed payment rails. The proposal, announced on October 21, 2025, at the Fed's Payments Innovation Conference, aims to reduce reliance on commercial banks while imposing strict limits. It revives narrow banking concepts amid growing stablecoin adoption following the GENIUS Act.
