BNY is expanding stablecoin services for institutional clients through its digital asset custody platform by adding support for Circle’s USDC. Multiple outlets report that BNY will enable eligible clients to hold USDC in the bank’s custody wallets and to interact with Circle for minting and redemption. In practice, institutional clients can instruct Circle, via BNY, to convert U.S. dollars into USDC (minting) and to redeem USDC for U.S. dollars (burning/redemption). The update is described as a deepening of BNY’s partnership with Circle and builds on BNY’s role as a primary custodian of USDC reserves. One report also notes that BNY’s broader plan is to extend similar capabilities to additional stablecoins beyond USDC, although the initial rollout is centered on Circle’s token. The changes are positioned as further integration of stablecoin functions—custody plus issuance-related actions—within a regulated banking infrastructure used by institutional investors.
