The platform includes wallet management, custody capabilities and cash functionality built to operate across both private and public permissioned blockchain networks.
State Street did not disclose which blockchain networks the platform currently supports or provide timelines for specific product launches.
Joerg Ambrosius, president of investment services at State Street, said the launch moves beyond experimentation into practical, scalable solutions meeting security and compliance standards.
He added that the platform pairs blockchain connectivity with operational controls and global servicing expertise.
Donna Milrod, chief product officer, said clients want trusted infrastructure that makes digital assets practical rather than experimental.
