US Bancorp shares rose Tuesday after the fifth-largest American bank ranked by deposits announced a partnership with bitcoin custody solutions manager NYDIG.

The venture is aimed at institutional clients with funds in the US or Cayman Islands. NYDIG is the first cryptocurrency sub-custodian in US Bank’s provider network. Sub-custodians are third-party specialists in digital asset custody that help their clients provide digital asset services to their customers.

Minneapolis, Minnesota-based US Bancorp is the parent of US Bank. US Bancorp was trading at $61.59 at mid-day Tuesday, up 1.43% from Monday’s $60.53 closing share price.

Investor interest growing

“Investor interest in cryptocurrency and demand from our fund services clients have grown strongly over the last few years,” US Bank Wealth Management and Investment Services chair Gunjan Kedia said in a press release. “Our fund and institutional custody clients have accelerated their plans to offer cryptocurrency, and in response, we made it a priority to accelerate our ability to offer custody services.”

NYDIG will provide security key storage for US Bank’s investment manager network, first solely for bitcoin, but with plans to support additional crypto assets, the company added.
