Citi and Coinbase Join Forces to Deliver Crypto Payment Solutions for Institutional Clients

Major Wall Street bank Citi has teamed up with leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase to develop digital asset payment capabilities tailored for institutional clients.

The partnership initially focuses on streamlining the flow between traditional fiat currencies and digital assets—enabling easier deposits and withdrawals—and will work on building seamless 24/7 rails that integrate stablecoins and blockchain-based payouts.

By combining Citi’s global payments network—covering over 90 markets and hundreds of clearing systems—with Coinbase’s digital asset expertise, the collaboration marks a significant step in bridging traditional finance and crypto infrastructure. The initiative signals institutional finance’s growing comfort with on-chain payments and could help digital assets become a standard part of global corporate treasury operations.
