Standard Chartered to expand institutional crypto and RWA custody to Singapore
In this news:
Key takeaways
- Standard Chartered plans to offer digital asset custody in Singapore for institutional and accredited clients.
- The service will cover cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets.
- The offering is part of the bank's expansion across major financial hubs including the UAE and Hong Kong.
Standard Chartered plans to offer custody in Singapore for selected cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, expanding a digital asset business that already reaches financial hubs including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Luxembourg and Hong Kong.
The service, which remains subject to applicable regulatory requirements, would be available to institutional clients and accredited investor corporate clients, the bank said Thursday. It would sit within Standard Chartered’s financing and securities-services business rather than operate as a retail crypto product.
“Secure and regulated custody is a critical foundation of the digital asset ecosystem,” Ole Matthiessen, Standard Chartered’s global head of transaction services and digital assets, said in a statement. “As client demand continues to grow, we will continue investing in our digital assets capabilities across key financial centers.”
The move is not a first for a global bank. BNY, for example, expanded its digital-asset custody platform to include USDC custody and minting, and later added staking.
However, it does expand Standard Chartered’s custody offering to Singapore, one of Asia’s key wealth-management and digital-asset centers, and explicitly covers stablecoins and tokenized assets alongside crypto.
