State Street has announced a new partnership with Swiss cryptocurrency firm Taurus. This collaboration aims to expand State Street's digital asset services, including the creation of tradeable tokens from real-world assets.
As cryptocurrencies have become more integrated into the financial system through regulated products like futures and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), institutional interest has grown. Institutions are seeking ways to hedge against inflation and diversify their portfolios.
Tokenization Enhances Asset Trade
Under this partnership, State Street will manage clients' crypto assets and assist in the creation of tokenized assets. Tokenizationinvolves converting ownership rights of traditional assets into digital tokens using blockchain technology.
This method, proponents argue, improves transparency and security, making assets easier to trade. For example, BlackRock has already launched a tokenized fund on the Ethereum blockchain that provides US dollar yields to investors.
Donna Milrod, Chief Product Officer at State Street, indicated that the new service is designed for asset management clients who need support in tokenizing their funds. She emphasized the importance of integrating traditional finance with digital assets.
There are few news announcements as relevant as this for digital assets. We are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration with @StateStreet, one of the world's largest custodian banks.Read the full announcement: https://t.co/14G1SecORW pic.twitter.com/c2ha5KTYc0

Institutions Surge into Crypto
The launch of this service is expected soon, though specific details have not been provided. In addition to these new services, State Street aims to address the need for secure custodianship of crypto assets.
Institutional interest in digital assets has surged, with major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley investing over $600 million in spot bitcoin ETFs during the second quarter. This reflects a broader trend of hedge funds, pension funds, and financial advisers exploring such investment products.
