The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) is preparing to offer custody services for Bitcoin and Ether in the form of exchange-traded products (ETPs).
The recent review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicated that BNY Mellon can treat the safeguarding of these crypto assets as not being part of its liabilities. This is because the ETFs will be held on third-party exchanges, allowing BNY Mellon to bypass the accounting requirements typically imposed by SAB 121, which usually mandates that banks recognize such assets on their balance sheets.

Just in: Dragonfly Capital, a crypto venture capital firm, has raised $250 million in funding, which is still only halfway to their funding goal for a new project. This is going to be epic.
In 2024, the months of March, April, and August have shown higher Bitcoin trade volumes compared to all previous years (2013 - 2023). This means more people are gaining exposure to Bitcoin. However, we might see even higher trade volumes in other months, as 2024 is not over yet. Let’s go BTC.
