This announcement, which was reported by <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-19/nasdaq-halts-plan-to-launch-crypto-custodian-business-in-us" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bloomberg</a>, reverberated throughout the crypto community, sparking mixed sentiment among investors and enthusiasts alike.

Despite the disappointment surrounding the custodian business, the Nasdaq aims to leverage its technological prowess to enhance its capabilities in handling digital assets. This commitment signals a silver lining amid the setback, as the exchange remains dedicated to supporting the development of the digital asset ecosystem through alternative means. 
The Nasdaq's CEO revealed the decision during the second quarter earnings call, underscoring the company's unwavering dedication to the crypto industry's evolution. Though the planned venture has been halted, the Nasdaq is now shifting its focus toward fostering strategic partnerships with potential ETF issuers, including industry giants like <a href="https://u.today/bullish-bitcoin-signal-sec-acknowledges-another-etf-proposal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlackRock</a>. These alliances are expected to drive further growth and innovation in the crypto space.
