For this, the financial giant has conceived already this month to provide an appropriate platform with a set of investment products focused on cryptocurrencies. The bank admits that large investors have become more interested in bitcoin as a tool in terms of minimizing inflationary risks.
Goldman Sachs top manager Joe Waldron, who heads the operations division, told Reuters that the bank is exploring options for penetrating the crypto sphere. This is necessary to meet the needs of customers interested in digital currencies.
First of all, the bank's clients are interested in bitcoin, Waldron said. Goldman Sachs recently surveyed its clients and found that many of them have already gained access to cryptocurrency.
According to another top manager of the financial giant, Matt McDermott, about 40% of the bank's investors already control a certain amount of digital currency.
