BNY Mellon Embraces Crypto, But One of Its Units Isn’t So Sure

BNY Mellon says it’s the first global bank to allow clients to hold, transfer and issue digital currencies. But one of its own asset management units isn’t so sure about Bitcoin.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, may not be suitable for most institutional investors because of high volatility, low liquidity, governance challenges and ESG risks, according to Insight Investment, which manages about $1 trillion. Slow and expensive transactions may also hinder widespread adoption, according to Francesca Fornasari, head of currency solutions.

Extreme swings in Bitcoin, which has lost around 46% from its mid-April record of almost $65,000, are hampering its appeal for institutional investors. That volatility was on full display on Wednesday, with the token slumping nearly 5% to $34,480 as of 10:00 a.m. London time.

The cryptocurrency clampdown in China, tightening regulatory scrutiny elsewhere and energy concerns have been powerful headwinds for the digital asset, which is heading for the worst quarter since the last three months of 2018.

“We’re skeptical in terms of the ability of Bitcoin to take over as means of payment,” said London-based Fornasari, whose team provides currency solutions ranging from hedging to absolute returns.
