According to Crowdfund Insider, Swiss financial market infrastructure provider SIX has obtained approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) to directly integrate its digital central securities depository (CSD, formerly operated by SIX Digital Exchange AG) into the existing SIX SIS AG division. At the same time, FINMA has authorized SIX to provide cryptocurrency custody services through the merged central securities depository.Previously, SIX maintained separate infrastructures for traditional markets and blockchain-based assets for many years. This integration eliminates that boundary, creating a single platform to support end-to-end post-trade operations across asset classes. Financial institutions can manage cryptocurrency custody using the same security framework as traditional instruments like stocks and bonds under the FINMA regulatory framework.Rafael Moral Santiago, Head of Securities Services and Executive Committee Member at SIX, stated that the goal is to provide financial institutions with a single secure entry point into digital assets, combining innovation with the stability of existing systems. This initiative is part of SIX's long-term plan to build a comprehensive post-trade solution across Europe by 2030.SIX is headquartered in Switzerland and is owned by approximately 120 financial institutions, with operations covering exchanges, post-trade services, financial information, and payment infrastructure.

A certain crypto KOL posted on platform X that the address ranked first on the Bitcoin billionaire list is a Binance-related address, which is a wallet address starting with "3" and holds over 200,000 BTC. He questioned the security of Binance storing such a large amount of Bitcoin in a single address and expressed concerns about the risk of private key collision cracking. In response, CZ stated, "The one starting with 3 should be a multi-signature, right? You would need to collide more than 3 private keys? Trust the math."Analysis suggests that this address is highly likely using a multi-signature mechanism. Even if there is a theoretical possibility of private key collision, the actual difficulty of cracking it is extremely high.
