Standard Chartered Enters Crypto Spot Trading with Institutional BTC and ETH Offering
Standard Chartered has launched institutional Bitcoin and Ether spot trading in the UAE through its DIFC desk.
This move makes Standard Chartered the first Global Systemically Important Bank to offer direct crypto spot trading in the Gulf region.
The bank's expansion of institutional deliverable spot trading is expected to accelerate bank adoption and tokenization across UAE markets, leading to increased opportunities for crypto, DeFi, and CEX/DEX integration.
