$BTC THRIVED WITHOUT BANKS. NOW, BANKS ARE COMING TO BITCOIN.
For years, Bitcoin grew outside the traditional banking system.$AXL
Today, the same banks that doubted it are racing to integrate it.$DCR
Nearly 60% of the top 25 U.S. banks are now offering or actively building Bitcoin and crypto products.
This is not speculation anymore. This is institutional adoption.
Three of the “Big Four” are already leading:
🏦 JPMorgan Chase ($3.79T AUM) → Exploring crypto trading & settlement.
🏦 Citigroup ($1.83T AUM) → Building institutional-grade crypto custody.
🏦 Wells Fargo ($1.75T AUM) → Offering Bitcoin-backed lending solutions.
What banks are focusing on:
🔐 Custody → Secure storage for institutional and high-net-worth clients.
📊 Trading & ETFs → Direct access to Spot Bitcoin ETFs and brokerage products.
💰 Lending → Loans collateralized with Bitcoin instead of selling it.
Together, these institutions manage $7.3+ trillion in assets.
That is real balance-sheet capital slowly being positioned toward Bitcoin.
Bitcoin didn’t need banks to survive.
But banks now need Bitcoin to stay relevant.
This is how Bitcoin becomes part of the global financial core.
