The US Federal Reserve Board denied a crypto bank’s application for membership because regulators concluded the bank lacked a suitable business model or sufficient internal controls.

Regulators first turned down Custodia Bank’s application in a ruling dated January 27, which it published on March 24. The Fed rejected a second membership request in February.

Custodia is a virtual asset services provider headquartered in Wyoming, a state that has positioned itself as crypto friendly.
