How Banks & Brokers Can Navigate Digital Asset Settlement Challenges

Traditional financial institutions are beginning to separate market participation from asset safekeeping. In recent news, J.P. Morgan confirmed it will engage in digital asset trading, while keeping custody services off the table. Similarly, Standard Chartered, DBS Bank, and Morgan Stanley have each expanded digital asset trading services for institutional clients, signaling that crypto market participation is becoming a mainstream financial function. It’s a pragmatic move. Trading can integrate into existing capital markets infrastructure, but custody introduces an entirely different risk framework: governance, segregation, and technological assurance. By partnering with regulated third-party custodians, banks can gain exposure while mitigating operational and balance-sheet risk. This means institutional adoption is moving from exploratory pilots to structured engagement. Large players are positioning themselves around liquidity, settlement, and execution, beyond simple investment exposure. At B2C2, we continue to support this transition by providing institutional-grade liquidity and risk management solutions designed for regulated market participants entering digital assets. #DigitalAssets #InstitutionalCrypto #banks B2C2

“Financial institutions should view stablecoins not as threats but as tools.” — Stephen Aschettino, Steptoe & Johnson LLP This shift captures how regulation is reshaping digital finance.

Tokenized Trust, Who Controls the Future of Money? The panel explored how tokenized money is redefining trust and control in finance. Lars Marius Sæverhagen Business Developer for Tokenized Finance at DNB, outlined how banks can adapt, not by issuing their own stablecoins, but by integrating existing ones into their infrastructure. “Banks can custody, clear, and settle stablecoins, but not everyone needs to issue their own. The consortium model could work, especially if it lets corporates move funds seamlessly across banks and borders.” He pointed to initiatives from different players as examples of shared infrastructure that could enable instant settlement and programmable payments. The discussion highlighted the growing contrast between decentralized innovation and institutional integration, two parallel paths shaping the future of money.

𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Tokenisation has moved beyond being merely a trend — it’s now a tangible development spearheaded by global custodians. According to a Broadridge survey, 63% of custody banks are already providing tokenised assets, with an additional 30% preparing to do so. Meanwhile, asset and wealth managers are seeing much slower adoption rates. Germán Soto Sanchez from Broadridge suggests this evolution promises enhanced efficiency, security, and innovation, paving the way for a new chapter in how institutions and investors engage in global financial markets. https://okt.to/YJFHQ6

Last week our team left the ABA Annual Convention with a clear takeaway: digital asset adoption in institutional finance is clearly speeding up. The conversation has moved from exploration to execution. Stablecoins are now considered practical tools to upgrade payment rails and efficiency. And the Tokenized deposits discussion is heating up accordingly. This aligns with LedgerLink’s mission: to bridge legacy cores with the digital-asset ecosystems. Our purpose is to enable seamless integration between these 2 worlds by having our platform handling the intrinsic complexity, so banks can innovate with full control with a risk balanced approach. We help institutions Integrate stablecoins into their existing core systems and therefore enable near-real-time for domestic and cross-border settlement with regulated stablecoins while at the same time, strengthening resilience with SOC 2–aligned controls and ISO 20022 messaging support. We’re building the foundation for compliant innovation in next-generation banking. #DigitalAssets #BankingInnovation #ABAConvention #Tokenization
