Citigroup Weighs Stablecoin and Crypto ETF Custody—$2.57T Giant Eyes Payments Push

Citigroup Weighs Stablecoin and Crypto ETF Custody—$2.57T Giant Eyes Payments Push

Citigroup is exploring a major expansion into the digital asset space, with plans that could put the $2.57 trillion banking giant at the center of stablecoin custody, crypto ETF infrastructure, and blockchain-based payments. Speaking to Reuters, Biswarup Chatterjee, Citi’s global head of partnerships and innovation for its services division, said the bank is looking at providing custody for the high-quality assets that back stablecoins. Citi’s Stablecoin Plans Could Reshape Digital Asset Payments and Settlement Under the GENIUS Act signed into law this year, issuers must hold safe assets like U.S. Treasuries or cash to support their tokens, creating an opening for traditional custody banks to step in. “Providing custody services for those high-quality assets backing stablecoins is the first option we are looking at,” Chatterjee said. Citi’s services arm, which includes treasury, cash management, and payments for major corporations, has been a core part of the bank even as it undergoes a sweeping restructuring. The interest comes as the stablecoin market grows beyond crypto trading into mainstream payments and settlements. McKinsey estimates about $250 billion in stablecoins have been issued, but usage is still largely concentrated within the crypto sector. Citi sees the recent legislation as a turning point. 🏦 Citigroup @Citi is weighing its own stablecoin and diving into tokenized deposits, CEO Jane Fraser said during the Q2 earnings call, signaling a deeper digital pivot. #Citi #Stablecoins https://t.co/95SaJd4U7k — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) July 16, 2025 Citi is also considering issuing its own stablecoin, an idea CEO Jane Fraser confirmed in July during the bank’s second-quarter earnings call. “We are looking at the issuance of a Citi stablecoin, but probably most importantly is the tokenized deposit space, where we’re very active,” Fraser told analysts at the time. She said the goal was to modernize infrastructure and deliver “the benefits of advancements in stablecoin and digital assets to our clients in a safe and sound manner.” Citi’s ambitions extend beyond stablecoins. The bank is examining custody services for the crypto assets underpinning exchange-traded funds. Since the SEC approved spot bitcoin ETFs last year, the largest, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust, has amassed a market cap of around $90 billion. “There needs to be custody of the equivalent amount of digital currency to support these ETFs,” Chatterjee noted. Coinbase currently dominates the ETF custody space, serving more than 80% of issuers. On the payments front, Citi already offers “tokenized” U.S. dollar transfers via blockchain between accounts in New York, London, and Hong Kong, operating 24 hours a day. The bank is now developing services to let clients send stablecoins between accounts or instantly convert them into dollars for payments. Chatterjee said discussions with clients are underway to identify use cases. Regulators, once cautious about traditional banks entering the crypto sector, have adopted a more accommodating stance under the current U.S. administration. Still, Citi will need to comply with anti-money laundering rules and international currency controls. Custody operations, Chatterjee stressed, must ensure assets were used for legitimate purposes before acquisition and must be backed by robust cyber and operational security. Fraser has framed Citi’s approach as a response to client needs and the broader shift toward always-on, instant settlement. “Digital assets are the next evolution in the broader digitization of payments, financing, and liquidity,” she said. “Ultimately, what we care about is what our clients want and how do we meet that need.” With $2.57 trillion in assets under custody, Citi’s entry into stablecoins and ETF crypto custody could reshape how traditional finance integrates with the digital asset economy. U.S. Banking Groups Urge Congress to Ban Stablecoin Yield Payments by Affiliates Major U.S. banking trade associations are urging Congress to bar stablecoin issuers’ affiliates from paying interest to token holders, warning it could drain deposits from banks and limit lending. 🇺🇸 U.S. bank groups seek to expand GENIUS Act limits on stablecoin interest, raising broader questions over global payments policy. #stablecoin #geniusact https://t.co/dhN9j0X3QZ — Cryptonews.com (@cryptonews) August 13, 2025 In a joint letter, the American Bankers Association, Bank Policy Institute, Consumer Bankers Association, Financial Services Forum, and Independent Community Bankers of America said the GENIUS Act’s current language prohibits issuers from offering yield but leaves a gap that allows exchanges and related entities to do so. They cited Treasury estimates that interest-bearing stablecoins could trigger up to $6.6 trillion in deposit outflows, increasing funding pressure on banks and money market funds. The groups stressed that bank deposits remain a key source for loans, while stablecoins are not designed for lending and lack equivalent oversight. They warned that joint marketing between issuers and exchanges could accelerate withdrawals in times of stress, raising borrowing costs for households and businesses. They called for extending the prohibition to all intermediaries handling stablecoin transactions. The push comes amid rapid sector growth. CertiK reports stablecoin supply rose from $204 billion to $252 billion in early 2025, with USDT dominating and USDC expanding to $61 billion. PayPal’s PYUSD doubled via a Solana integration and launched a 3.7% yield program. Coinbase and PayPal maintain their reward programs, arguing the ban applies only to issuers. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicts the market could grow to $2 trillion , driven by institutional adoption and regulation.

ETH ETFs Just Hit a $1 Billion Net Inflow Day – Could That Spur Altcoin Rotation This Weekend?

ETH ETFs Just Hit a $1 Billion Net Inflow Day – Could That Spur Altcoin Rotation This Weekend?

ETH inflows reached a record on Monday, with U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs drawing $1 billion in a single session. BlackRock’s ETHA fund accounted for $640 million, and Fidelity’s FETH added $277 million. Overall ETF holdings now total $25.7 billion, and cumulative inflows this cycle exceed $10.8 billion. What ETH Flows Mean Now Large ETH inflows suggest heightened demand for ETH exposure. Historically, these inflows have provided momentum for sectors like DeFi, layer-2 networks, and infrastructure tokens. That trend may extend into a broader altcoin rotation, but timing could vary based on weekend trading volumes and macro sentiment. $ETH ETF inflow + $729,100,000 yesterday. Ethereum FOMO is just getting started. pic.twitter.com/eEQDECt0oW — Ted (@TedPillows) August 14, 2025 Sustained inflows also create a liquidity effect—capital allocated to ETFs often gets mirrored in derivative markets, staking platforms, and liquidity pools. This can influence funding rates and lending demand on ETH-related platforms, impacting trader positioning across connected assets. Early Signs of Spillover Activity Ethereum’s recent performance far outstripped Bitcoin’s. In July, ETH rose roughly 49% compared to Bitcoin’s 8% gain. The total crypto market cap passed $3.7 trillion, buoyed by ETF-driven activity. DEX trading data supports this momentum. Ethereum-based DEX volume hit $24.5 billion over 48 hours, twice Solana’s trading volume during the same window. That indicates capital circulation through Ethereum-native infrastructure. On-chain analytics also show wallet growth in ETH DeFi protocols, with daily active addresses in some L2 ecosystems climbing to multi-month highs. This participation uptick suggests that a portion of the ETF-fueled demand is filtering directly into the broader Ethereum ecosystem rather than staying confined to passive ETF holdings. Weekend Outlook: Where Altcoin Season Could Go If ETH inflows continue, we could see capital migrate into a potential altcoin season : 1. Layer-2 networks, such as Arbi trum and Optimism, as users seek lower-cost, high-speed access to ETH trading and DeFi activity; 2. DeFi protocols like Unisw ap or Aave, especially if staking and liquidity incentives draw in flows from yield-seeking investors; 3. AI-adjacent tokens, such as Render (RNDR) or Fetch.ai (FET), which often attract speculative attention tied to broader sentiment shifts. Key indicators will include shifts in open interest, funding rates, and token pair activity—especially during thinner weekend books. Rotation Based on Value, Not Hype Current sentiment suggests altseason may remain narrow. Funds appear to be flowing into tokens with proven use or structural upgrades. Arbitrage, governance features, and liquidity access will determine if rotation spreads beyond Ethereum. Potential spillover will likely follow tangible developments, rather than headline-driven speculation. If trader and investor interest continues to reflect ETH ETF flows, we may see growing volume in high-utility altcoins during the coming days and into the weekend. For now, ETH inflows remain the clearest driver of momentum. Their influence may spread, but is likely to do so in measured steps tied to adoption, usage, and structural changes across the ecosystem.
