Standard Chartered has extended its institutional Bitcoin and Ether spot trading to the UAE through its Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) arm. This move makes it the first Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) to offer this service in the country.

The offering, which runs through Standard Chartered DIFC, provides clients with deliverable trades that can be settled through a custodian of their choice. The bank's existing digital asset custody solution is also available for use.

Standard Chartered first introduced institutional Bitcoin and Ether spot trading in the UK in July 2025, becoming the first G-SIB to offer deliverable spot crypto trading to institutional clients.
