G-SIB Adoption

Definition

G-SIB adoption refers to the integration of new technologies or practices by Globally Systemically Important Banks. These are major financial institutions whose failure could pose a risk to the global financial system, making their actions highly influential. In the context of digital assets, G-SIB adoption means these banks are incorporating blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, or tokenized assets into their operations, products, or services. This often involves significant due diligence, regulatory compliance efforts, and substantial investment in new infrastructure.
