BNY in talks with Kraken parent Payward over infrastructure partnership

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Custody banking giant BNY is in talks with Payward, the Wyoming-based parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, over a broad partnership spanning digital assets and financial-market infrastructure, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The potential agreement could cover areas including crypto products, custody, wealth management, trading, payments and infrastructure, the people said.

These offerings are provided through Payward Services, the company’s business-to-business platform for banks, exchanges and asset managers.

Elements of the proposed partnership could resemble the infrastructure component of Payward’s recent agreement with Nasdaq, one of the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the talks are private.

Discussions are ongoing, and there is no guarantee an agreement will be reached.

Both Payward and BNY declined to comment.

A deal with BNY would further Payward’s push to connect its digital-asset operations with established financial institutions.

BNY, formerly known as Bank of New York Mellon, provides custody, asset servicing, clearing and wealth-management services to institutional clients.

BNY has also been developing tokenized deposits designed to support near-real-time onchain settlement between institutional market participants, part of a broader push by the bank into digital-asset infrastructure.

Nasdaq Ventures agreed last month to invest $100 million in Payward at a $21 billion valuation while expanding the companies’ collaboration on tokenized equities.
