90-Day Clock Puts Fed Decision On Ripple Access In Play

According to Dr. Kamilah Stevenson, Ripple has effectively been in limbo, with its application for Fed master account access “sitting in a drawer” while regulators avoided a clear outcome.

The wealth-focused market connoisseur contends that this administrative stalling was the real play: not an outright denial, but a quiet, indefinite delay that kept Ripple and XRP holders guessing.

That playbook, Kamilah Stevenson says, has now been constrained.

A “new executive order” — not named in the video, but described as binding on the Fed — reportedly imposes a 90-day deadline for written decisions on master account requests.

“The Fed now has to decide on master account access within 90 days in writing. Yes or no,” Dr. Kamilah Stevenson stresses, emphasizing that while this is “not a guarantee” of approval, it is “something better” because the question “can no longer be buried.”

Master account access is central to how banks and select financial institutions plug directly into the Fed’s core payment infrastructure.

For a company like Ripple, whose XRP ecosystem is pitched as plumbing for cross-border payments, the difference between having that access and being locked out is not trivial.

Kamilah Stevenson underscores this by repeating a strategic mantra: “Architecture first. Price second.”

The argument is that XRP’s long-term value depends less on speculative cycles and more on whether Ripple’s technology is structurally embedded in the financial system.

For XRP holders, forcing the Fed to provide a definitive answer — even if it’s a no — could reset expectations and strategy.

A written denial could fuel legal or political challenges; a written approval could meaningfully change how institutions view XRP’s role in settlement rails.
