BNY custodies $55.8T and processes $2.5T in daily payments — when they say "adoption vehicle," they mean crypto gets absorbed into their existing plumbing, not the other way around. Their tokenized deposits run on a private permissioned chain, and the stablecoin reserves fund (BSRXX) routes through Dreyfus money markets. Vince went from "incredibly slow" in 2023 to full product launches in 2026 because ETF custody fees and BlackRock's BUIDL data pipeline forced the pivot. Banks becoming the on-ramp just recreates the same concentrated counterparty risk that Bitcoin was designed to route around — except now one custodian sits between Morgan Stanley's BTC ETF, Circle's USDC reserves, and institutional tokenized deposits simultaneously.
