State Street Corp., one of the world’s leading providers of financial services to institutional investors, has announced the expansion of its crypto services in partnership with Lukka, an enterprise crypto asset data and software provider.


State Street Launching New Crypto Services


State Street Corp. announced new cryptocurrency services Thursday. The financial services firm “will provide digital and cryptocurrency asset fund administration capabilities for the firm’s private funds clients” in partnership with Lukka, the announcement details, adding:


State Street will support its private fund clients with collection, standardization, enrichment, reconciliation, processing and reporting related to crypto and other digital assets.


The Boston-headquartered financial services and bank holding company offers investment servicing, investment management, investment research, and trading services. State Street operates globally in more than 100 geographic markets. The company had $42.6 trillion in assets under custody and/or administration and $3.9 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of June 30.


The financial services firm recently launched State Street Digital, a division focused on addressing the industry’s evolving shift to digital finance. It also led Lukka’s Series C funding round in December of 2020.


Nadine Chakar, head of State Street Digital, commented:


The growth in popularity of digital assets is showing no signs of a slowdown … Our work with Lukka will leverage their software and data in order to help expand our digital and crypto asset fund administration capabilities to alternative managers.

Specifically, State Street will leverage Lukka’s product suite, which includes a proprietary middle and back-office data management solution, Reference Data, and Prime Pricing Data.


Jen Tribush, alternatives lead for State Street Digital, opined: “As our clients continue to adopt digital assets, such as crypto, we’ve seen increasing interest among investors for institutional quality middle and back-office offerings that support diversified portfolios.”


Lukka CEO Robert Materazzi described: “Large, traditional funds are rapidly looking to add crypto to their offerings, which leads them to ask their existing, trusted service providers such as State Street for fund administration.” He added: “State Street was quick to recognize the importance of building capabilities to support crypto assets and we are proud to partner with them as funds quickly look to diversify their portfolios.”

Over the last decade, it has become embedded into finance, culture, and even our social life. It’s drastically changing the way we think about money, economics, and human action. However, some people, primarily on the left, are skeptical of cryptocurrency. Many of them hate it, regardless of how much of a godsend it has been for many. My friend, thought leader, author, and psychedelic visionary, Daniel Pinchbeck, pointed out a

P2P Bitcoin Traders in Nigeria Think Outside the Box in the Wake of CBN Restrictions

After the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a directive targeting the country’s cryptocurrency industry, bitcoin and altcoin trade volumes on centralized exchanges immediately plunged. Nevertheless, the new regulations seem to have succeeded in boosting crypto trade volumes on informal markets or on peer-to-peer trading platforms. Nigerian Crypto Traders Get Creative Still, the increasing trades on informal platforms have also led to increased reports of users losing money to con artists. Moreover, with the CBN seemingly eager to see volumes of crypto trades plummet, Nigerian users had to find ingenious but legal ways of getting around the central bank’s imposed restrictions. As shown in one local report , one such legal way is through an app created by one local crypto start-up, Patricia. According to the report, this application is already enabling Nigerian users to buy or sell their crypto assets securely and without running afoul of CBN regulations. Therefore, in this report, we relis
