花旗公告显示,该行计划在今年晚些时候推出比特币托管服务,面向机构客户开放。新服务将纳入其刚发布的 Custody+ 平台,让客户可在同一套基础设施下持有比特币和传统金融资产。

纳入同一托管框架

Custody+ 由花旗机构基础设施业务部门发布,整合了托管、结算、外汇和现金管理等服务。按照花旗披露,平台初期将支持比特币,具体上线时间尚未公布。

这意味着部分机构客户未来可在同一家银行内,同时管理股票、债券和比特币,而不必再单独依赖独立的加密托管机构。对原本已使用花旗托管网络的客户而言,接入路径也会更直接。

覆盖逾百个市场

花旗表示,其托管业务目前服务超过 100 个市场,其中 62 个市场由该行自营托管网络覆盖。若比特币托管正式落地,这些客户将可通过现有银行关系接入加密资产托管服务。

花旗投资者服务托管业务负责人 Amit Agarwal 表示,Custody+ 是该行多年基础设施投入的一部分,目标是让托管体系更贴近客户交易与配置节奏。

银行加快进入加密托管

花旗同时披露,该行近年一直在升级后台系统,以缩短托管相关流程的处理时间。其在美国推出的新技术已将多项托管事件集中到单一系统处理。花旗称,超过 80% 的相关事件已可实时处理,处理时长最高缩短 92%,其中 96% 可在两小时内完成。

在大型金融机构中,花旗并非首家布局比特币托管。纽约梅隆银行已于 2022 年向部分美国客户提供加密托管服务,Fidelity Digital Assets 和 Coinbase 也早已面向机构提供相关业务。

补充信息:美国证监会已在 2025 年撤回 SAB 121。该会计政策此前提高了银行为客户保管加密资产的成本,撤回后,大型银行进入相关业务的阻力有所下降。
