Citigroup Considers Crypto Custody — A Signal of Institutional Momentum

I see Citigroup weighing crypto custody as a meaningful signal that traditional banks are preparing to support ETF flows and stablecoin activity at scale. This signals growing institutional acceptance and infrastructure buildout rather than immediate market-moving product launches.

I expect custody services from a major bank to reduce frictions for large investors and to complement ETF demand for Bitcoin and Ether, while legitimizing stablecoin use in payments and settlements.

That said, regulatory clarity, implementation timelines and commercial terms will determine the real impact, so I’m monitoring announcements and pilot details before taking a larger position.
