全球主要银行机构花旗银行周三透露，已聘请总部位于瑞士的加密货币托管公司 Metaco 建立数字资产托管平台。
根据花旗银行一位官员的一封电子邮件，此次合作将重点关注代币化证券，这些证券是使用区块链技术转移和结算的股票和债券的代表。
管理着超过 27 万亿美元资产的花旗银行利用 Metaco 的专业知识来构建其数字资产托管平台，而不是自行构建。
据美国商业资讯报道，通过此次合作，Metaco 的数字解决方案和技术将与花旗银行庞大的托管网络合并，创建一个平台，使消费者能够安全地保留和结算比特币 (BTC) 等数字资产。

花旗银行和 Metaco 之间的这项协议使该银行能够利用其当前的运营、技术和服务方法扩展其当前的能力，以包括数字资产。
花旗银行全球证券服务主管 Okan Pekin 表示：“我们正在见证传统投资资产和原生数字资产的快速数字化。”
花旗集团并不是近年来唯一一家与 Metaco 合作开展数字资产服务的传统金融机构；渣打银行、菲律宾联合银行、西班牙对外银行和星展银行也这样做了。
与摩根大通和高盛一样，花旗提供比特币期货交易，并且在 2021 年 11 月，该银行宣布准备再雇用 100 名员工，以加强其面向机构客户的数字资产部门。
Pekin 表示：“我们正在开发和创新新功能，以支持对我们的客户越来越重要的数字资产类别。”

Metaco 是数字资产行业内为金融机构提供技术的领先供应商。许多重要的实施得到了加密货币托管公司的支持，包括 BaFin、FINMA、Banco de Espaa、FCA 和 MAS。
Metaco 首席执行官兼创始人 Adrien Treccani 评论说：“我们很高兴与顶级证券服务公司之一花旗合作，支持他们连接数字资产和传统资产的使命。”

花旗银行拥有约 2 亿客户账户，在 160 多个国家和地区开展业务。
