Analysis

Citi, the $30 trillion custodian, will roll out Bitcoin custody later this year through its new Custody+ platform, letting clients keep BTC in the same account as stocks and bonds.

Traditional banks have expanded Bitcoin custody services over the past year as regulatory clarity improved, with Citi now joining the shift that began accelerating in 2025.

Price action on the 4h chart shows BTC at $64247.27 inside a bullish structure, with EMA50 at $63728.62 and EMA200 at $63780.27 acting as layered support while MACD prints a golden cross at 241.46; the reading sits inside Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $64699.82, suggesting any push toward that level could trigger a measured pullback to the 50-EMA before continuation.
