The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. banking regulator.
The group argues the agency went beyond the powers given to it by the National Bank Act when it approved national trust bank charters for crypto companies.
The ICBA calls this route a "side door" into the banking system, since it lets crypto firms access bank-style status without the traditional path.
Why it matters: the outcome could shape how easily crypto companies can obtain U.S. banking licenses, and it shows the tension between traditional banks and the crypto industry over who gets access and under what rules.
