Goldman Sachs marks another milestone

During an interview with Bloomberg, a spokesperson from Goldman Sachs said that for the first time in the history of the banking giant, it had lent cash collateralized by BTC held by borrowers. She went on to note that the agreement was interesting for its structure and 24-hour risk management.

A Bitcoin holder can use this type of loan to borrow fiat currency, such as the US dollar, by pledging their Bitcoin as collateral to the bank. However, if the price falls too low, the inherent Bitcoin volatility can make these loans risky, and the borrower may be compelled to boost their collateral, or they may be liquidated.

The major move by the baking giant signals its entry into a new business line which many crypto-specialized firms currently eye. Last month, Goldman Sachs completed its first over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency transaction by joining hands with with crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital's trading unit. The upcoming merging event, which will see the Ethereum blockchain switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, has also raised customer demand.

Increasing interest among Wall Street banks 

Goldman Sachs is not the only banking giant seeking a solid presence in the crypto industry. Recently, the multi-trillion dollar asset management giant BlackRock had been in the headlines after it announced the launch of a blockchain-focused ETF. Before that, the firm also announced its partnership with the operator of the USDC stablecoin, Circle. American multinational independent investment bank Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is also expanding its services for crypto clients.

Wealth management, trading, and investment banking are just a few of the crypto-related products and services presently available on Wall Street. According to Damien Vanderwilt, co-president of Galaxy Digital Holdings, lending to companies that supply virtual currency as collateral is the next milestone.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
