- UniCredit Bank is seeking a technology provider for digital asset trading and custody solutions.
- The bank’s focus areas include crypto custody, brokerage capabilities, and stablecoin-based fixed-income securities.
- U.S. Bank recently completed a live cross-border payment using its proprietary USBDC stablecoin.
- Standard Chartered launched spot trading for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) for institutional clients in the UAE on September 3.

As major banks explore digital asset infrastructures, UniCredit’s initiative reflects a growing trend among financial institutions to enhance their offerings in crypto markets and tokenized products.
With Standard Chartered’s recent launch of trading services and U.S. Bank’s successful stablecoin transaction, the push towards digital asset integration is accelerating across the banking sector.
