According to the CEO, the partnership with NYDIG will allow companies to implement crypto solutions in a “secure and controlled environment”. And although the details of the project are not yet available, Flushing Bank expects to implement it already this quarter.
This week, Five Star Bank announced similar plans. He also entered into a partnership with NYDIG. In total, within the United States there are more than 116 small banking organizations that intend to integrate the ability to conduct transactions in BTC using the firm’s fintech platform.
One of the first partners of NYDIG, Vast Bank, noted that the adoption of bitcoin has significantly expanded the organization’s consumer base. We previously reported that US banks have launched their own stablecoin.
