The service, initially launched via the bank\u2019s UK operations, targets large financial institutions and multinational corporations.<\/p>\n

New crypto offering tailored for institutions<\/h2>\n

The bank\u2019s new trading solution is fully integrated into its existing FX infrastructure, enabling institutional clients to access digital assets through familiar interfaces. Clients can execute trades and choose between Standard Chartered\u2019s in-house custody platform or an external provider for asset storage. The offering currently operates during Asia and Europe trading hours, with 24\/5 availability under consideration as demand grows.<\/p>\n
