Citi to Roll Out Crypto Custody+ in 2026, Starting With Bitcoin
Citi says it plans to expand its custody offering to digital assets, with Bitcoin as the first supported asset under its new Custody+ platform later in 2026.
Citi plans to launch a digital asset custody service later in 2026, beginning with Bitcoin, according to coverage of a Citi announcement about its new Custody+ platform. The service is described as sitting alongside the bank’s existing custody business within Custody+ [1] [2].
The reports say Custody+ is intended to combine near- and real-time custody solutions with Citi’s broader custody capabilities, including integration elements such as real-time settlement, cash and liquidity management, FX, and AI-powered market intelligence (as described in the cited write-ups). Citi also said the offering will be based on its “common digital asset architecture” [3] [4].
Citi’s planned Custody+ launch would mark another step into institutional crypto custody, with Bitcoin slated as the initial digital asset to be supported later this year [1] [4].
