Why Crypto Custody Is Becoming a Bank Business

Episode 13 of The Crypto Business Podcast explores the quiet migration of digital asset custody from crypto-native startups to traditional banks and trust companies. Lucas and Luna examine why institutions like BNY Mellon and State Street are entering the space, what regulatory clarity under the SEC's updated custody rule means for the industry, and how this shift impacts retail investors using exchanges like Coinbase. With Bitcoin at 75,756 and Coinbase down over 7% in a week, the hosts discuss whether bank-grade custody could reshape the competitive landscape of crypto infrastructure. The episode also touches on how tokenization of real-world assets depends on institutional-grade safekeeping, and what the rise of 'bank custody' means for the promise of self-sovereignty. #CryptoCustody #DigitalAssets #BNYMellon #StateStreet #SEC #CryptoRegulation #Coinbase #Bitcoin #Ethereum #InstitutionalCrypto #Tokenization #CryptoInfrastructure #BusinessAndTechnology #Blockchain #CustodyWars #FinancialServices #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
