If true, this would be a major breakthrough for traditional financial institutions looking to enter the institutional crypto custody space.
One of these institutions, America’s largest custodian bank BNY Mellon, was recently identified during public testimony at Wyoming’s Select Committee on Blockchain, Financial Technology, and Digital Innovation Technology.

He explained that while the bank initially faced challenges with SAB 121, the SEC granted an exception that allowed BNY to move forward with crypto services.
