  • NYDIG will serve as the sub-custodian for bitcoin custody operations.
  • The revival of services follows renewed regulatory clarity.
  • U.S. Bank manages over $11.7 trillion in assets under custody and administration as of June 30.
  • Services include ETFs, fund custody, fund administration, corporate trust, and wealth management.
