From the oldest US banks to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. About the process of recognition and acceptance of cryptocurrencies among banks
State Street is one of the oldest active banks in the United States. Today, they form a cryptocurrency trading division to get the benefits from the current trend. This is a huge bank with more than $ 40 trillion of actives, and they make a special request to financial companies. The essence of the request is that they help clients trade cryptocurrencies and contribute to the development of industry rules in cooperation with regulators.
The head of the bank stressed that the digital capabilities of State Street Digital go beyond "just trading cryptocurrencies." They intend to use blockchain technologies to improve the efficiency of financial transactions.
Nadine Chakar is the head of State Street Digital. She recently said that the bank is looking to catch up with customers who have increased their cryptocurrency transactions by 300% in the past few months. According to her, the current period is very important. A large flow of donations from foundations comes in cryptocurrency. It is impossible to ignore it. The bank is looking for a solution.
The central banks of France and Switzerland intend to test cross-border transfers with cryptocurrencies. The pilot will be attended by banks UBS, Credit Suisse, and Natixis.
The Swiss National Bank and Banque de France will explore the possibility of cross-border settlement with two wholesale central bank digital currencies known as CBDCs on the blockchain. The bank attracts a private sector consortium led by Accenture, including Credit Suisse, Natixis, R3, SIX SDX digital exchange, and UBS.
Banque de France MP Sylvie Goulard strongly believes in CBDC benefits due to ensuring the safety and efficiency of financial transactions. The G20 has pledged to improve the quality of cross-border payments to discolor the CBDC.
The central banks of France and Switzerland are more cautious at the moment. At the same time, Sweden is already developing an e-krona for the general public, and the central bank of China is testing the e-yuan with might and main.

According to the statement, it will keep in touch with similar platforms in other countries. First of all, rapid integration with the digital yuan is expected after the launch of the Russian digital currency. "The digital ruble and the digital yuan also implies integration. We very much hope that our Chinese colleagues, as soon as we have this platform ready, will do it with us quickly enough," said Olga Skorobogatova, First Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank.

Conclusion. How does all this affect the activity of investors?
Last week was marked by tons of news. The crypto market has been consistently bearish, but high interest in Bitcoin has persisted. For example, DJ David Guetta has put up for sale his luxury apartment in Miami Beach with the option to pay in Bitcoin and Ethereum. 2 weeks ago, Arte Surfside sold a penthouse in Miami for $ 22.5 million with full cryptocurrency payment.
News and statements of major politicians and public figures steadily excite the cryptocurrency market. It is not yet clear how the events of the past 2 weeks will affect the market. It is only obvious that the current bear market for cryptocurrencies will not be their end, but will only remain in history as one of its stages.
