In January, BNY launched tokenised deposits on its permissioned blockchain for collateral and margin payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The product basically creates on-chain representations of client deposit balances and has drawn early use from firms including Intercontinental Exchange, Citadel Securities, DRW, and Circle. Anchorage Digital, Paxos, and Securitize are also part of the network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Slides as Storm Fallout and AI Shift Weigh on Network<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-regulation-remains-the-barrier\">Regulation Remains the Barrier<\/h2>\n<p>Vince said broader adoption will depend on clear rules. His argument was pretty simple: most of the financial services industry will stay out of digital assets if regulation remains uncertain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He described the shift as a long-term process that will take years of progress in market structure, technology, and compliance rather than a rapid crypto-style breakout.<\/p>\n<p>That message came as regulators signalled a more defined US approach. At the same summit, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said it was a historic week for digital asset markets after the agency issued new guidance dividing tokens into five categories, with four outside securities oversight.<\/p>\n<p>BNY has been building this business in stages. In July 2025, it partnered with Goldman Sachs to tokenise money market fund shares using Goldman\u2019s Digital Asset Platform, reducing settlement from up to two days to same-day completion. BlackRock, Dreyfus, Federated Hermes, and Fidelity are among the participating fund managers.<\/p>\n<p>The bank has also taken on supporting roles across the sector, including work on Morgan Stanley\u2019s Bitcoin trust and a dedicated stablecoin reserves fund. Its digital asset testing began earlier, through Singapore\u2019s Project Guardian in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Vince said BNY\u2019s scale is an advantage because it can absorb new systems and turn them into infrastructure that large institutions are willing to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Fake \u201cPudgy World\u201d Site Lures Gamers Into Handing Over Crypto Wallet Passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>bny mellon,Digital Asset,Regulation#Big #Banks #Bridge #Powering #Cryptos #Wave1774416225<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BNY CEO Robin Vince told the Digital Asset Summit in New York that major financial institutions will drive the next stage of crypto adoption by bridging traditional and digital finance.
