Customers Bank Cuts Ties with Crypto Hedge Funds, Caps Deposits at 15%

  • Wechat scan to share

Customers Bank has reportedly terminated banking services for some of its crypto hedge fund clients, with the extent of the cull unclear. The move is said to be a result of housekeeping and offboarding of inactive accounts, rather than a widespread debanking of the industry. To limit its exposure to digital assets, the bank has capped deposits from crypto clients at 15% of total deposits. Customers Bank offers a real-time blockchain-based payments platform called Customer Bank Instant Token (CBIT) that allows crypto clients to make US dollar payments 24/7.
