#CryptoIntegration

Crypto integration refers to the blending of digital assets—like cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized securities—with legacy financial infrastructure. This encompasses initiatives such as banks exploring stablecoin custody and payments (Citigroup), tokenizing money-market funds (Goldman Sachs & BNY Mellon), and pilot programs for tokenized bonds (State Street) . Major payment networks are also involved: Mastercard is engineering crypto-enabled transfers akin to Venmo, featuring a Multi-Token Network and over 100 card programs for seamless fiat–crypto movement . These efforts underscore a clear trend—bridging crypto’s innovation with the reliability of established financial systems, while navigating regulatory frameworks. The result? Faster settlements, broader access, and enhanced operational efficiency across finance.
