  • DTCC announced it won’t use Bitcoin or cryptocurrency ETFs as collateral, effective April 30, 2024.
  • Cryptocurrency enthusiast K.O. Kryptowaluty notes this only affects inter-entity settlements, not brokerage lending.
  • Despite DTCC’s stance, institutional interest in crypto remains, highlighted by growing investments in U.S. Bitcoin ETFs.

The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a pivotal institution in financial market services, has declared that starting April 30, 2024, it will no longer recognize exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have exposure to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as collateral. This policy change marks a significant stance by the DTCC in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

DTCC’s New Policy Impact

This adjustment in DTCC’s collateral policy specifically impacts the internal line-of-credit system used among financial entities, essentially meaning that values assigned to crypto-related ETFs will see a complete reduction for purposes of inter-entity settlements. However, it’s important to note that according to K.O. Kryptowaluty, a known cryptocurrency advocate, this change will not affect the use of such ETFs as collateral in general brokerage activities, which will continue to depend on individual brokers’ assessments of risk.

Contrast in Market Reactions

While DTCC takes a conservative approach towards crypto ETFs, not all financial players are pulling back from the cryptocurrency arena. Goldman Sachs, for example, has observed an uptake in client activities around cryptocurrencies in 2024, especially following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. These spot ETFs have significantly contributed to a renewed institutional interest in cryptocurrency investments.

Within just three months of their launch, these ETFs have amassed over $12.5 billion in assets under management, with an estimated 75% of new Bitcoin investments attributed to them as of February. However, the landscape is not entirely bullish. Recent data points to a slowdown, with substantial net outflows recorded by multiple ETF issuers, including a significant single-day withdrawal from Grayscale’s GBTC ETF.

Evolving Institutional Landscape

The shift by DTCC underscores a broader, cautious recalibration in how financial institutions are approaching the incorporation of cryptocurrencies into traditional financial mechanisms. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, institutions like DTCC are navigating these changes by adjusting their risk exposure and collateral requirements.

Meanwhile, the increased engagement by entities such as Goldman Sachs suggests that despite regulatory hesitations, there is a clear and growing institutional appetite for cryptocurrency as an asset class. This dichotomy reflects the complex dynamics at play as traditional finance and the burgeoning crypto market continue to intersect and influence each other.
