Gold prices have reached new highs, the US dollar index has fallen to a four-year low, and the market may face another big wave.

Citibank Plans to Offer Bitcoin Custody Services for Institutional Clients This Year
On August 21, Citibank announced plans to provide Bitcoin custody services for institutional clients later this year through its Custody+ platform. This service will integrate Bitcoin with traditional assets such as stocks and bonds within the same custody framework, allowing clients to access custody, settlement, foreign exchange, cash, and liquidity services through a single system. Bitcoin will be the first digital asset supported by Citibank's new custody service, although the bank has not yet disclosed a specific launch date or the list of initial clients. Citibank stated that Custody+ will offer real-time settlement, foreign exchange services, automated hedging, cash management, and liquidity tools. The Single Event Processing in its custody system currently processes over 80% of events in real time; in the U.S., this system has reduced processing times for certain voluntary corporate actions by up to 92%, with 96% of related events completed within two hours. Chris Cox, head of Citi Investor Services, noted that Citi invests over $2 billion annually in its Services platform. -
