Credit Suisse
The Swiss No. 2 (picture above: Canary Wharf branch in London) has not moved toward providing the cryto trading services. However, the bank is evaluating the use of Blockchain software for trading and transactions in a bid to cut costs. In March it executed an equity transaction using the Blockchain. CEO Thiam is known to favor the construction of a digital investment bank.
Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs by contrast has gone a few steps further: the U.S. investment in April hired a dedicated trader for digital assets. He is charged with leading a team that will focus on the trade of bitcoin products – the actual trading of bitcoin isn’t part of the project, the bank said.
David Solomon, the new CEO of the U.S. company, said that the bank will help clients to explore the bitcoin universe.
