[Hong Kong, February 21, 2025]—Digital asset infrastructure provider Cregis has joined forces with global banking leader Bison in a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the integration of traditional finance and Web3 technologies. The collaboration comes as financial institutions worldwide seek secure and compliant solutions for digital asset adoption.

The partnership will tackle three critical challenges facing the financial sector: digital asset custody compliance, cross-border payment efficiency, and settlement processes. By combining Bison’s extensive banking network with Cregis’s blockchain expertise, the initiative aims to develop enterprise-grade solutions that meet stringent regulatory requirements while delivering the benefits of distributed ledger technology.

”This partnership represents a significant milestone in the maturation of digital asset infrastructure,” said Shawn Yan, CEO of Cregis. “By working with Bison, we’re creating a bridge that allows traditional financial institutions to confidently participate in the digital asset economy while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.”

The collaboration includes the development of industry guidelines and technical standards, addressing a crucial need for standardization in the rapidly evolving digital asset space. The joint initiative will focus on practical solutions for institutions managing both traditional and digital assets, with an emphasis on regulatory compliance and risk management.

Market observers note that this partnership could accelerate institutional adoption of digital assets, particularly in Asia-Pacific markets where both companies maintain a strong presence. The collaboration comes at a time when global financial institutions are increasingly seeking ways to integrate digital asset capabilities into their existing operations.

The financial services industry is at a crucial inflection point. Bison’s partnership with Cregis combines the innovation of Web3 technology with the security and reliability of traditional banking infrastructure, delivering the best of both worlds to clients.

The first joint solutions are expected to be rolled out in Q3 2025, with a focus on institutional clients in Asia and Europe.
