Citi Brings Bitcoin Custody to Wall Street as AlphaPepe Buyers Chase Earlier Entry

Citi's move to offer bank-grade digital-asset custody for Bitcoin marks a significant step in the cryptocurrency's integration into mainstream finance.

The Wall Street institution has highlighted its strategy to provide native crypto custody, including Bitcoin, which will allow institutional investors to hold and trade cryptocurrencies securely and efficiently.

This development strengthens the argument that crypto is being increasingly accepted by traditional financial institutions, a trend that benefits Bitcoin's adoption case.

In contrast, AlphaPepe is attracting buyers seeking an earlier entry point into the market. The project has raised $2.48 million in its presale and has moved to Stage 20 at $0.02789, with over 11,100 holders.
