👉 Crypto Bank BCB Group Looks To Fill Silvergate’s Role
BCB Group, a UK-based payments processor for crypto companies, is speeding up plans to add US dollar capabilities in order to fill the gap left by the recently-closed Silvergate Exchange Network.
BCB currently provides fiat-to-crypto rails for currencies such as sterling, euros, Swiss francs, and yen in Europe, primarily to institutional players such as Bitstamp, Gemini, and Kraken.
The firm launched its instant settlement network, BLINC, in mid-2020, with a dollar component in the works for about a year and set to launch soon.

Digital asset management firm Coinshares has reported its fourth consecutive week of outflows from its investment products, this week with $17 million withdrawn.

The report could lay the groundwork for a cross-border payment system if the central banks of the participating countries move forward with issuing digital currencies of their own.
