U.S. banking giant Goldman Sachs to gatecrash crypto market with digital custody business

The lines between the legacy financial systems and the nascent cryptocurrency market are increasingly getting blurred. Trading financial companies are either buying digital assets or looking for ways to provide services related to the emerging industry.

And Goldman Sachs could be the latest traditional financial company to enter the cryptocurrency market.

Goldman Sachs, an American investment bank and financial services company with $1.8 trillion in assets under management (AUM), has issued a request for information (RFI) in a bid to enter the digital asset custody business, said a source inside the bank privy to the matter.

The bank source did not give a specific timeline of when the digital asset custody service would come into effect but said it would be “evident soon.”

The bank’s digital asset custody RFI was sent to at least one major crypto custody service provider toward the end of last year.

Goldman Sachs closely following the crypto space and its competitors

Goldman Sachs is following in the footsteps of JPMorgan Chase, a U.S. multinational investment bank considering digital custody business. 

“Like JPMorgan, we have issued an RFI looking at digital custody. We are broadly exploring digital custody and deciding what the next step is,” said the source who asked to remain anonymous.

The Block reported in October last year that JPMorgan reached out to crypto native firms on its plans to offer digital asset custody services to its clients. The bank approached Fidelity Digital Assets and Paxos

JPMorgan has an in-house blockchain division and in February 2019, the investment bank launched the JPM Coin, a blockchain-based digital currency representing fiat currency.

The source elaborated that the custody initiative was part of the bank’s bigger digital strategy, citing stablecoins that were recently endorsed by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). 

The OCC is allowing stablecoins and blockchain networks to be integrated into the U.S. financial payment system. 

The cryptocurrency industry recently enjoyed a huge milestone when Visa-backed startup Anchorage announced that it had become the first crypto firm to receive a federal banking charter from the OCC.

Anchorage’s regulatory approval has the potential to attract institutional players into the crypto space.

The Goldman Sachs insider explained that the bank is only exploring custody services and has not thought as far as prime brokerage.

Institutional players are coming into the fold, with major traditional companies converting their balance sheet into Bitcoin.

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 success guarantee work?

If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
