According to CoinMeta, as reported by Coindesk, BNY is in talks with Kraken's parent company, Payward, regarding a collaboration that covers digital assets and financial market infrastructure. The potential scope includes crypto products, custody, wealth management, trading, payments, and infrastructure. The related services are expected to be provided through Payward's B2B platform Payward Services for banks, exchanges, and asset management institutions. Some aspects of the collaboration may be similar to the infrastructure agreement previously reached between Payward and Nasdaq. Currently, the negotiations are still ongoing, and there is no guarantee of a final agreement being reached. Both BNY and Payward have declined to comment.
