Standard Chartered's Singapore branch plans to offer custody services for select crypto assets, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA) to institutional investors. The move targets growing institutional demand for regulated digital asset infrastructure in the region. This initiative expands the bank's existing crypto custody footprint, which currently covers the UAE, Luxembourg, and Hong Kong. The addition of Singapore strengthens Standard Chartered's position as a traditional financial institution providing comprehensive digital asset services across key global markets.
