最新报道:Standard Chartered has become the first global systemically important bank to offer spot trading in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for institutional clients, initially through its UK branch during Asia and Europe trading hours. Rene Michau, Global Head of Digital Assets, stated the service targets asset managers, investors, and multinational corporate clients, with potential 24/5 access under consideration. The bank integrates crypto trading into existing FX platforms, allowing settlement via preferred custodians, including its in-house service. Standard Chartered, already active in digital asset custody and tokenization through subsidiaries like Zodia Custody and Libeara, plans to expand offerings to include non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) for BTC and ETH.
