They said that any investment product will result in a very small share of the client&#8217;s total wealth due to the volatile nature of the asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The options include third-party investment entities, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As more global securities trading companies started to provide cryptocurrency services, Goldman Sachs Group delivers deeper into the market. The bank non-deliverable forwards, a derivative tied to Bitcoin\u2019s price that pays out in cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Morgan Stanley, it plans to give wealthy clients access to three funds that can own cryptocurrencies. Bank of New York Mellon Corp is developing a platform for trading traditional and cryptocurrencies. Citigroup is also studying providing cryptocurrency services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u201cWe are monitoring the developments in the field of digital assets closely,\u201d UBS said in a statement. \u201cImportantly, we are most interested in the technology which underpins digital assets, namely the distributed ledger technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency, but the increased momentum in other currencies is attracting more attention. Advocates have argued that investors feel more comfortable investing in a variety of currencies, while critics say the market may be in a bubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UPS is afraid of losing customers if it does not offer investment products of this kind to wealthy clients, according to the sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local rival Julius Baer Group\u2019s CEO Philipp Rickenbacher said last week at a conference that the wealth manager was looking at working with partners to offer clients access to crypto assets, though for now doesn\u2019t plan to execute its own Bitcoin-related transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UBS Chief Executive Officer Ralph Hamers is taking a deep look at where he can both cut costs and digitize operations, including the high-touch business of serving the world\u2019s wealthiest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hammers changes the way the bank spends on technology projects, assigning it quarterly allocations instead of fixed annual funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bank spends about $3.5 billion annually on technology, maintaining and modernizing existing infrastructure, creating new tools for employees, and new products for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Keep reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnreport.com\/en\/customers-banks-bitcoin\/\">Customers Of Some U.S. Banks Will Be Able To Buy, Hold And Sell Bitcoin Soon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swiss bank UBS decided to lay out initial plans to offer investment products in cryptocurrencies to wealthy clients.
