Standard Chartered Explores Crypto Trading and Prime Brokerage Platform
Standard Chartered is evaluating an expansion into digital assets, with preliminary discussions focused on launching a cryptocurrency trading and prime brokerage platform. The move WOULD position the British bank alongside other global financial institutions increasing their involvement in the crypto market.
While details remain scarce, the initiative signals growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies as tradable assets. The bank's potential entry could further legitimize the sector and provide institutional clients with regulated access to crypto markets.
