BNY has announced the expansion of its digital assets platform with the launch of a new tool aimed at delivering both on- and off-chain accounting data to blockchain networks. Editor’s note: This article was updated to reflect that the company is referred to as “BNY,” not “BNY Mellon.” BNY, the world’s largest custodian, said in a press release that it was launching the Digital Asset Data Insights product, a data tool aimed at bringing security and efficiency to the offering and access to fund accounting data across blockchains. The new tool, which will see global asset manager BlackRock become the first client, will allow BNY to broadcast a fund’s net asset value on the Ethereum ( ETH ) network. Accordingly, the financial services giant’s new on-chain offering helps bolster its footprint in the blockchain technology space. Per the announcement, part of the focus is on the rapidly expanding tokenized assets market. Digital Asset Data Insights will enable BNY to leverage smart contracts to automate data delivery for investors in tokenized funds. “Accessing transparent data is critical to our clients’ success in today’s market,” said Caroline Butler, global head of digital assets at BNY. “Our platform’s support of Digital Asset Data Insights underscores our commitment to servicing the end-to-end asset lifecycle via distributed ledger technology, while maintaining data integrity from a trusted source.” The BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund will be the first to benefit from the new solution. BUIDL, which launched in 2024 and is a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury fund, will have its data broadcast onchain by BNY. Commenting on the latest development, BlackRock’s head of digital assets Robert Mitchnick said: “BNY’s enablement of off-chain data insights to public blockchains is an unprecedented event and a significant milestone for the industry. By enhancing data transparency and accessibility for our investors, BNY has set a new standard for digital asset innovation.” New York City-headquartered BNY is the fund administrator and custodian of BUIDL’s assets. BNY, which oversees more than $52 trillion in assets under custody and administration as well as over $2 trillion in assets under management, eyes distributed ledger technology for transparency and accessibility. The custodian behemoth has invested in spot Bitcoin ( BTC ) exchange-traded funds and targeted crypto ETF custody amid regulatory review.

Bhutan’s government transferred $32 million worth of Bitcoin to a new wallet today, its second crypto movement in two weeks, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. The transfer follows last week’s movement of $63 million in Bitcoin to three separate wallets. Druk Holdings, the government’s investment arm, maintains holdings of approximately 8,594 Bitcoin, valued at $729 million at current prices. Druk Holdings’ portfolio extends beyond Bitcoin to include Ether, LinqAI, Phil, and Apu Apustaja tokens. While crypto is not legal tender in Bhutan, the country has been mining Bitcoin using hydroelectric resources since 2019, building crypto wealth equivalent to 30.7% of its GDP. In January, Bhutan’s newly established Gelephu Mindfulness City Special Administration Region announced plans to include Bitcoin, Ether, and BNB in its strategic reserves. The initiative, announced under the Application of Laws Act 2024, aims to enhance the region’s digital asset ecosystem within a regulated framework. The Bitcoin transfer comes as markets prepare for potential volatility ahead of President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcement. The White House confirmed the tariffs will take effect immediately upon announcement. Agne Linge, Head of Growth at WeFi, cautioned that the growing link between digital and traditional markets amplifies crypto’s vulnerability to macroeconomic changes, especially when investors become risk-averse. “The recent downturn in the S&P 500, hitting a new low, serves as a strong signal that global markets are facing heightened uncertainty, which in turn is putting pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies,” Linge noted in a statement. According to Linge, economic volatility indicators have surged past historical benchmarks, surpassing peaks from both the 2008 financial crisis and the early 2020 pandemic. “This surge in uncertainty highlights the growing concern about the stability of the global economy, particularly as inflationary pressures remain persistent,” Linge added. Trump’s tariffs are expected to fuel inflation, which could lead to higher interest rates. This environment might initially be unfavorable for Bitcoin, as investors seek safe assets. Bitcoin was trading above $84,000 at press time, per CoinGecko.

Canadian Bitcoin mining company Bitfarms secured up to $300 million in private debt from Australian multinational investment firm Macquarie to fund its data center development. Bitfarms has reached an initial agreement for a private debt facility of up to $300 million from Macquarie Equipment Capital to support its Panther Creek data center project in Pennsylvania. In an April 2 press release , the Canadian crypto mining company said that the first tranche of the loan is $50 million, with the rest available if the company “achieves specific development milestones.” Bitfarms CEO Ben Gagnon says the partnership with Macquarie is the beginning of its investment in the “near-term development” of Panther Creek data center, adding that amid the surging AI revolution and the growing demand for power and infrastructure, the financing “arrives at a pivotal time.” “The maturity of each facility is two years from the date of closing. Each facility will bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, with interest on the initial draw of $50 million paid in kind for the first three months.” Bitfarms Joshua Stevens, an associate director at Macquarie, pointed out that the location is “within 100 miles of New York City and Philadelphia,” which could make it appealing to high-performance computing tenants. Following the announcement, Bitfarms’ shares rose by 2.54% on Nasdaq. The loan agreement comes just weeks after Bitfarms completed its all-stock acquisition of Stronghold Digital Mining through a stock-for-stock merger, with Stronghold shareholders receiving 2.52 Bitfarms shares for every Stronghold share they held. As crypto.news reported, nearly 60 million Bitfarms shares and over 10.5 million warrants were issued as part of the deal, and Stronghold’s stock was delisted from Nasdaq and ceased trading.
