While Pure Digital is yet subject to regulatory approval, the company plans to provide big investors with stability, security, and capital efficiency. Jason Vitale, Global Head of Foreign Exchange at BNY Mellon, says the bank plans to expand its services on the cryptocurrency market as the regulatory landscape develops.

"Digital assets are only going to become more embedded in global markets in the years ahead and this collaboration accords with BNY Mellon’s wider strategy to develop a digital asset capability for clients across the entire trade life cycle," Vitale added.
