➤ Fintech veteran Wojciech Kaszycki suggests that true bank adoption of Bitcoin will be signaled by client custody balances, credit-funded spot trades, and its use as loan collateral, rather than just trading volume.
➤ Standard Chartered's launch of deliverable BTC and ETH trading for UAE institutions is seen as a step, but Kaszycki emphasizes the importance of integrating crypto into existing bank credit lines, back-office processes, and accounting systems.
