Citigroup considers offering crypto services due to high demand
Traditional banks have begun entering the cryptocurrency space thanks to the massive demand for crypto-related products by their customers. Case in point, Citigroup could be the next to join the market after admitting high demand from its clients.
Citigroup could soon offer cryptocurrency services
Citigroup, one of the leading investment banks in the United States, has revealed that it is considering offering crypto-related services to its customers. According to the bank, they need to respond to the high demand for crypto services from their customers.The bank’s global head of foreign exchange, Itay Tuchman, told the Financial Times earlier today that Citigroup is exploring the possibility of providing cryptocurrency services to its clients. Mainly, the bank is planning to offer trading, financing, and custody services. However, Tuchman admitted that Citigroup would not rush into launching any service that would get them in trouble with the regulators.
“We shouldn’t do anything that’s not safe and sound. We will jump in when we are confident that we can build something that benefits clients and that regulators can support,” Tuchman added. In addition, he revealed that the genesis of the move is the increase in the number of clients inquiring about Bitcoin.
In fact, Tuchman stated that its clients began asking about cryptocurrency services in August 2020 when Bitcoin’s price rose by 33%, from $9,000 to $12,000 within a few weeks. Since then, the number of people asking about Bitcoin has increased, he added.
Traditional banks trooping into the cryptocurrency space
Despite the massive demand and the rally that saw Bitcoin reach a high above $64,000, Tuchman said Citigroup is in no hurry to jump on the cryptocurrency bandwagon. Admittedly, he said that the bank intends to play the long game with cryptocurrencies. Having said that, it believes they will be around for a long time. “I don’t have any FOMO [fear of missing out] because I believe that crypto is here to stay and that we are just at the very beginning of the market. This isn’t a space race. There is room for more than just one flag,” Tuchman added.The crypto market has seen an influx of traditional banks in varying capacities over the past year. For instance, in the United States, investment banks such as JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs have all become involved in the crypto market to varying degrees. As well, other banks such as BNY Mellon are also getting involved in the emerging industry.

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.
