Bullish
BNY rollout for ADGM na join directly with institutional custody for Bitcoin and Ethereum, wey usually dey improve market access for big allocators. For short term, the news fit spark momentum as traders dey expect more compliant “plumbing” and smoother fund flows into BTC/ETH products. For longer term, if BNY custody expand to stablecoins and tokenized RWAs after approvals, e fit further entrench ADGM as regulated venue—supporting steady demand for core assets. Both summaries put the initiative as positive structural development rather than one-off listing. Because the impact dey focused on improving regulated custody rails (no dey change crypto fundamentals), overall expected price impact on BTC and ETH na modest-to-positive—so e bullish for these coins.
