Top Stories

Key Takeaways

  • Major banks like JPMorgan are moving select institutional settlement onto public blockchains, but access remains tightly permissioned.
  • Legal challenges to dormant crypto assets are being tested in court, but onchain activity suggests ownership is not easily transferred by fiat.
  • Institutional crypto ETF flows remain volatile, with significant outflows in October, yet overall year-to-date inflows are still positive.
  • Demand for insured, regulated bitcoin custody is rising as public companies and fiduciaries seek robust risk management solutions.
  • AI-driven identity and fraud prevention tools are gaining traction in financial services, though regulatory and adoption hurdles remain.

What to Watch

Keep an eye on further developments in the JPMorgan-Citigroup tokenized deposit network, slated for 2027, which could accelerate traditional finance’s integration with blockchain. The outcome of the Noah Doe lawsuit may set precedents for how courts treat dormant crypto assets. Additionally, watch for updates on ETF flows as macro conditions shift and for regulatory responses to biometric identity solutions in banking.
