U.S.-based custody bank Northern Trust is helping traditional “mainstream” hedge funds expand into cryptocurrencies, Forbes reported Tuesday.
Northern Trust’s president, Pete Cherecwich, told the news organization that the financial services firm is working with three hedge funds – whose names he declined to provide – to add cryptocurrency investments to their portfolios.
To that end, Northern Trust has reportedly created new administrative tools and services specifically for cryptocurrency assets.
As such, many of Northern Trust’s efforts to integrate blockchain services are part of preparations for when fiat currencies are digital tokens.
Most recently, the bank partnered with Big Four firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers to launch auditing technology for data stored on a blockchain.
