“The pandemic has been a significant growth driver. There is no doubt that the e-commerce and digital-asset sectors will continue to grow,” said Goldman Sachs’ chief operating officer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The bank is also weighing the possibility of launching a custody service and an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
