This is a great initiative  and if the story be true, then it is actually a welcome development and if I'm not wrong, we also have unionbank over here in my country  and we refer to it as the union Bank of Nigeria and I believe  and I wanted to know if the development is for their branches globally or is it for a particular  region?
Please bear with me if my questions aren't right as I didn't take the time and pleasure of reading the original story from the link you provided.

Another thing is that, hope the bank isn't trying to seek a way to tax digital assets because personally I'm really sure everyone gets into business for profit and the bank isn't exempted from that.
