Standard Chartered plans institutional crypto custody in Singapore
Latest NewsPublishedOct 8, 2026
Standard Chartered plans custody for cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenized assets for institutional and eligible corporate clients in Singapore.
Standard Chartered revealed plans to launch digital asset custody services for institutional clients in Singapore.
The London-headquartered multinational bank plans to offer custody services for select cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets to institutional clients and corporate clients qualifying as accredited investors, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, as reported by a Thursday press release.
Cointelegraph asked Standard Chartered which cryptocurrencies its custody service will support but did not receive an immediate response.
Standard Chartered stated Singapore’s role as a “leading financial and innovation hub” is an key part of its “global strategy.”
The planned Singapore service would broaden its custody offering. In May, the bank revealed plans to consolidate its custody operations by acquiring Zodia Custody’s custody business and spin out Zodia Solutions after shareholders accepted its offer.
In the United Arab Emirates, the bank’s services cover both institutional crypto trading and fiat payment infrastructure. It introduced spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) trading last month, while its banking agreement with CoinMENA, signed in June, supports the exchange’s fiat on- and off-ramps, client money accounts and virtual account-based transaction management.
