BofA to utilize blockchain tech for stock trading
Blockchain technology has gained popularity in various sectors of the global economy. Among other things, it offers speed of transaction and transparency. As such, several companies are using the technology to improve certain aspects of their businesses.The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) created the rules that govern the stock trading process. This includes how trade settlements work and how long they take which can be days.
Earlier today, Bank of America announced that it had joined the Paxos Blockchain Stock-Settlement Network. The move would allow the bank to improve its stock settling process. Mainly, the company would cut its settling time from days to minutes.
Bank of America is the second-largest bank in the United States. According to a Bloomberg report, it will join Credit Suisse Group AG and Nomura Holdings Inc.’s Instinet on the Paxos Settlement Service. The Paxos Settlement Service gained approval from the SEC in 2019. Consequently, this allowed it to settle equity trades for banks and other financial institutions.
Kevin McCarthy, head of financing and clearing at the Bank of America, said the bank has been carrying out internal transactions on the system over the past few months. If approved as a clearinghouse, BofA will be offering the service to its clients. “We can determine the settlement cycle down to T+0. We then can free up the collateral we’d have to post on an overnight basis. The return-on-assets in this business would improve, which has been a challenge,” he added.
Paxos disrupting the equity market
Evidently, Paxos’ adoption of cryptocurrencies could pose a threat to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DDTC)’s dominance of the market. At the same time, Paxos Chief Executive Officer Chad Cascarilla revealed an interesting fact. Currently, only trades logged by DTCC and by 11:30 a.m. are eligible to be settled on the same day. This means 75% of all traded stocks could potentially fail to be logged in a one day period. However, the Paxos System could change that. To be clear, it would connect investors directly to the market, using a version of the Ethereum network.Bina Kalola, BofA’s head of global banking and markets financial technology innovation and investments, believes that the market is big enough for multiple settlement systems to operate. She added that Paxos' collaboration with the DTTC is good for the equity market.
Blockchain technology has improved several operations in various sectors of the global economy. Of course, its adoption is likely to continue in the coming years as more companies find ways to streamline some of their processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
