State Street to Set up Digital Asset Platform for Institutional Clients<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with Taurus, a digital asset infrastructure provider, the platform will provide institutional clients with tokenisation services, node administration, and custodial services. Lamine Brahimi, the co-founder and managing partner of Taurus SA, disclosed to Cointelegraph after the announcement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We believe custody and tokenization are the two faces of the same coin, especially when performing asset servicing of tokenized securities.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm will be able to simplify the process of servicing and issuing digital assets, such as “digital securities and fund management vehicles,” by utilising Taurus' Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus-CAPITAL, and Taurus-EXPLORER products, as per State Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutions that are adopting digital assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Institutional interest in digital assets and digital asset investment vehicles increased significantly following the introduction of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETFs) in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter of 2024, 66% of institutional Bitcoin investors either maintained or increased their BTC holdings, according to recent data from Bitwise<\/a>. To be more precise, 44% of those investors increased their exposure to the scarce digital asset, while 22% maintained their investments without accumulating additional BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sygnum Bank's director of investment research, Katalin Tischhauser, recently informed Cointelegraph that the assets under the management of Ethereum ETFs could increase to $10 billion during the first year of live trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, an anonymous source informed Cointelegraph that Morgan Stanley had authorised its network of 15,000 advisers to suggest Bitcoin ETF alternatives to clients from August 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source clarified that Morgan Stanley<\/a> exclusively promoted BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the recent market volatility of the past week, inflows into Bitcoin ETFs remain robust, with an estimated $11 million streaming into the investment funds on August 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
