The outlook for crypto banks is surprisingly strong given a drop-off in customer deposits in the wake of depressed prices and low volatility , according to JPMorgan.
Both Silvergate Bank and Signature Bank , two commercial banks that serve the cryptocurrency industry, reported their third-quarter financial results this week.
Signature's crypto deposits fell 12% on a quarterly basis, but the bank added 116 digital currency clients, bringing its total crypto customer base to 1,677.
Its crypto deposits tend to come from crypto exchanges and stablecoin companies.
At Silvergate, crypto deposits decreased by 11%, and its crypto customer base increased by 92 to reach 1,439.
