The asset manager will leverage the partnership to support its private fund clients with collection, standardisation, enrichment, reconciliation, processing and reporting related to crypto and other digital assets.
State Street Digital head Nadine Chakar noted: “The growth in popularity of digital assets is showing no signs of a slowdown and State Street Digital is committed to continuing to build out the necessary infrastructure to further develop our digital assets servicing models to help meet our clients’ growing demands.”
State Street will utilise Lukka’s product suite to consume crypto assets that are combined within a private client’s traditional alternative investments portfolios.
Its product suite includes a proprietary middle and back-office data management solution which is purpose-built for blockchain and crypto asset data.
