As consumers increasingly look to banks to help them safely hold cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols announced in an ABA Viewpoint blog post on Tuesday that the association has invested in NYDIG, a leading provider of bitcoin solutions for banks.
Nichols noted that the investment would help support banks’ ability to meet customer demand for crypto products and services, citing NYDIG’s compliance-first approach, focus on the community bank market and focus on supporting banks rather than competing with them.
