Bitcoin integration among the world’s biggest banks and financial institutions has reached a notable average of nearly one-third.
The latest index from the Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy measures adoption at 32% across the 25 largest players in banking and finance.
Fidelity stands out with the highest integration at 71%, underscoring its advanced approach compared to peers.
Published on July 14, the report provides a clear snapshot of current trends.
It focuses on measurable steps like custody services, trading capabilities, and product offerings tied to Bitcoin.
Industry observers note that this average signals growing comfort with Bitcoin as a mainstream asset.
Banks appear to be moving beyond initial exploration into practical implementation.
Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor stated, “investment in bitcoin by major banks is accelerating, but it’s still early: the overall index score is 32%.”
The index assesses depth across four categories including trading and custody services, product offerings like spot ETFs, lending backed by digital assets, and executive-level support for blockchain solutions.
Fidelity leads thanks to its early start with Fidelity Digital Assets in 2018 and full range of services including its own spot Bitcoin ETF.
Other major U.S. banks like BNY and Goldman Sachs scored 45-46% while Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley reached 43%.
Asian banks including SMBC and Royal Bank of Canada lagged at the bottom with just 13%.
