KeyBank Jumps Into Crypto: Bitcoin Trading & Custody Services Go Live

Wall Street's creeping crypto embrace hits another milestone—KeyBank just flipped the switch on Bitcoin trading and custody for its clients. No more begging your broker for exposure or sweating self-custody nightmares.

The institutional dam is breaking

Another day, another legacy finance player dipping toes in digital assets. KeyBank's move follows JPMorgan and BNY Mellon's baby steps into crypto—except this time it's retail investors getting the keys to the kingdom.

Custody first, questions later

The bank's rolling out cold storage solutions before you can say 'regulatory gray area.' Because nothing says trust like a 150-year-old institution suddenly understanding private keys.

*Insert cynical jab about banks only embracing innovation when they can charge custody fees*

Get ready for the floodgates. When traditional finance finally gets it, they really get it—right into their spreadsheets and fee structures.
