Quoting Pete Cherecwich, President of Corporate & Institutional Services at Northern Trust,
""I do believe that governments will ultimately look at digitizing their currencies, and having them trade kind of like a digital token — a token of the U.S. dollar — but the U.S. dollar [would still be] in a vault somewhere, or backed by the government."
The Financial services giant has also reported to have significantly expanded its work with blockchain and cryptocurrencies across multiple divisions including but not limited to KYC/AML, NAVPs, Tradings etc.
The move has been described as one of the most significant pushes into cryptocurrency by a traditional financial institution till date.
