The iron curtain of TradFi has finally been torn open.

The recent statement from the Federal Reserve Board has come as a surprise — they have openly acknowledged that their attitude towards DeFi has shifted from skepticism to cautious acceptance. Even more exciting is the subsequent action: a new channel called "Streamlined Accounts" is being prepared, targeting fintech companies and stablecoin projects.

How heavy is the weight of this matter? It is important to know that the Federal Reserve's core clearing network was previously only open to licensed banks. Now, this door has opened to crypto-native companies — although the simplified accounts come with some restrictions (no interest, no overdraft), it essentially equates to receiving a ticket to access the central bank's payment backbone. For established players like Kraken and Ripple, as well as the issuers behind USDT and USDC, this is a crucial step from the periphery to the center.

Why this shift? To put it simply, regulators have realized that the previous strategy of "keeping crypto companies at bay" is no longer feasible. Rather than being passively defensive, it is better to take an active role—inside the Federal Reserve, there has already begun research on tokenized assets, smart contract clearing, and even AI-driven payment systems. They do not want to be absent in the next round of financial infrastructure revolution.

The substantial impact brought by this operation:
✅ The friction costs of cross-border payments and instant settlement have been significantly reduced.
✅ The legitimacy of stablecoins as a payment tool has received implicit endorsement.
✅ DeFi is no longer an experimental product outside the system, but is beginning to deeply integrate with TradFi.

When stablecoin issuers can directly connect to the central bank's clearing system, the boundaries between on-chain payments and TradFi are truly blurred. This is not just good news for a specific exchange, but a paradigm shift in the infrastructure of the entire industry. The rules of the game are being rewritten; do you understand this round?
