Citi announced it will start holding Bitcoin directly for clients by the end of 2026 through its new Custody+ platform, which integrates digital asset custody with traditional equity and bond custody. This move allows clients to manage Bitcoin alongside other assets in a single framework without handling private keys. The development is significant because it removes a major barrier for institutional investors who require regulated custody, potentially opening the door for large pools of capital to hold native Bitcoin. While near-term price impact is limited, the medium-term effect could be substantial as institutions gain compliant access and Bitcoin could be used as collateral alongside traditional assets.
