Bitcoin's Arrival on Wall Street
summary
Bitwise runs a large Bitcoin ETF and 18 investment solutions while Fidelity deploys custody and trading under one roof and Citi builds cross‑business digital‑asset infrastructure; ETFs act like a tupperware that lets banks use Bitcoin on existing rails, spawning recruitment of authorized participants, months‑long diligence by banks, BNY Mellon as admin/cash custodian, fintech bets (Talos, TRM, Amberdata), and open questions like SAB 121 accounting and custody balance‑sheet treatment.
