Standard Chartered has launched spot Bitcoin trading for institutional clients via its UK branch, expanding its crypto services amid increasing institutional demand. The service integrates with existing platforms, allowing clients to trade Bitcoin efficiently and within regulatory frameworks. Non-deliverable forwards for Bitcoin trading will be available soon, ensuring clients can choose custodians for settlements. The bank aims to utilize its expertise in risk management within the digital asset sector while complying with regulations from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, thus facilitating institutional investment in cryptocurrencies.
As client demand accelerates further, we want to offer clients a route to transact, trade and manage digital asset risk safely and efficiently within regulatory requirements.
Digital assets are a foundational element of the evolution in financial services. They're integral to enabling new pathways for innovation, greater inclusion and growth across the industry.
We are applying our global expertise, infrastructure and risk management frameworks that our clients trust to the digital assets space.
Operating within a regulated framework and registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), this launch removes key barriers for institutional investors looking to enter the Bitcoin and crypto space.
