Standard Chartered says it will expand its custody offering in Singapore to cover cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokenized assets (including real-world assets), targeting institutional and accredited or eligible corporate clients. The bank frames the plan as an expansion of its existing custody capabilities, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.
CoinDesk, Cointelegraph and The Block report broadly aligned details on the client scope and asset types. They also describe the move as part of a wider rollout beyond Singapore, referencing Standard Chartered’s existing crypto custody footprint in other jurisdictions. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: CoinDesk and Cointelegraph focus on the Singapore client categories and the inclusion of stablecoins and tokenized assets, while The Block highlights the geographic context of the bank’s current custody presence.
Across coverage, the common point is that Singapore will be added as a new location for institutional crypto and RWA custody services, pending regulatory approvals.
