US Bancorp is relaunching its crypto custody program, marking a major return to digital asset services for institutional investors. Partnering with NYDIG, the bank will provide secure custody for Bitcoin and support Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, targeting rising demand from global fund managers.

Executives say the move comes as regulatory clarity improves, following the SEC’s shift from SAB 121 to SAB 122, easing hurdles for banks to hold crypto. “Further expanding our capabilities unlocks new opportunities to deliver innovative solutions,” said Dominic Venturo, US Bank’s chief digital officer. NYDIG CEO Tejas Shah added that the partnership bridges traditional finance with the modern digital economy.

As the fifth-largest bank in the U.S., US Bancorp joins industry giants like BNY Mellon and Fidelity in competing with crypto-native firms such as Coinbase and Anchorage Digital. The bank is also exploring stablecoin and payments use cases while leaving the door open to expand custody beyond Bitcoin if assets meet its standards.

Billionaire investor Ray Dalio is sounding the alarm on U.S. debt, warning it poses a greater risk to the dollar’s reserve status than deregulation, while boosting interest in crypto. In comments to the Financial Times, the Bridgewater Associates founder said mounting fiscal excesses in the U.S. and other reserve-currency nations are eroding trust in fiat money, pushing investors toward gold and digital assets like bitcoin.

Dalio stressed that cryptocurrencies, particularly bitcoin with its fixed 21 million supply, are emerging as viable alternatives as fiat systems weaken under swelling debt and money printing. He argued that investors seeking resilience will increasingly diversify into “hard currencies” such as gold and crypto, recalling similar shifts during past debt crises in the 1930s–40s and 1970s–80s.

On stablecoins, Dalio downplayed systemic risks but warned that their reliance on U.S. Treasurys ties them to America’s fiscal health. Framing today as part of a late-stage debt cycle, he cautioned that both high inflation and rising populism could reshape the global monetary order.

Coinbase has unveiled plans to launch futures trading for its first equity index product, blending top tech stocks with crypto exposure. The Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures combines Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, Tesla, and Coinbase shares with BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Each component will hold an even 10% weighting, giving traders diversified exposure to both traditional and digital markets.

The move follows a decline in Coinbase’s spot trading volumes and revenue in the second quarter. By broadening its U.S. derivatives platform, the exchange is signaling a stronger push to attract users with innovative products that connect the worlds of equities and crypto. The firm also recently launched a DEX integration, expanding access to previously unavailable tokens.

Industry watchers see this as part of a broader trend, where digital asset platforms are increasingly bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. Coinbase’s latest product aims to entice investors seeking hybrid opportunities between stocks and crypto.
