BNY has added USDC minting and redemption capabilities to its institutional custody platform, expanding the services it provides around Circle’s stablecoin.
The development matters because it brings more of the USDC lifecycle into BNY’s institutional infrastructure. Clients using the platform can now access minting and redemption alongside custody services.
The expansion also deepens BNY’s existing partnership with Circle, the company behind USDC. It extends a relationship already centered on the bank’s custody responsibilities.
BNY serves as the primary custodian of USDC reserves. Adding minting and redemption support builds on that role and further connects the bank’s custody platform with USDC operations.
