Citigroup Enters Stablecoin Custody & Payments Market

Global banking giant Citigroup is strategically expanding its service offerings into the rapidly evolving digital asset space. The bank aims to become a central player in stablecoin custody and payment services, driven by recent policy changes that have encouraged financial institutions to integrate crypto and stablecoin solutions as part of their offerings. 2025 has seen significant growth in stablecoin adoption within the US, fueled by increased institutional interest and clear regulatory clarity following legislation like the GENIUS Act and the OBBA.
