Standard Chartered Bank plans to hold stablecoins and tokenized physical assets in Singapore

Standard Chartered Bank announced on Thursday that it plans to include some stablecoins and tokenized physical assets into its service scope together with cryptocurrency assets in Singapore. This service is only open to institutional customers and certified qualified investor corporate customers and must meet applicable regulatory requirements.

Tokenized funds, ETFs and precious metals have attracted institutional attention

Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited issued this announcement, and retail investors are currently unable to enjoy this service. In addition to traditional asset custody and tokenization services, the custody business will also become part of the bank's "Financing and Securities Services" business segment. The bank said that under a certain structure, customers can switch from holding traditional securities to holding tokenized versions of those securities.

Although the announcement did not mention the specific token name or stablecoin issuer, nor did it announce a specific launch date, Tan Ying Ying, global head of digital assets and securities services at Standard Chartered Bank, pointed out that institutional clients are interested in tokenization funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and precious metals. Institutional clients want more efficient ways to hold, transfer and mobilize these assets, she said.

渣打银行新加坡及东盟、南亚地区首席执行官Patrick Lee表示:“新加坡是金融创新的重要中心,拥有强大的机构生态系统,且对可信数字资产解决方案的需求不断增长。”Lee补充道:“稳健的基础设施对于支持机构规模的代币化资产的安全流转、保管和服务至关重要。”

新加坡加入全球数字资产托管网络

新加坡现已加入阿联酋、香港和卢森堡的行列,渣打银行已在上述地区提供数字资产托管服务。该行表示,新加坡在其全球战略中是领先的金融与创新枢纽。

渣打银行全球交易服务及数字资产主管Ole Matthiessen强调:“安全且受监管的托管是数字资产生态系统的关键基础。”他援引该行作为全球系统重要性银行的地位,指出这正是机构客户所看重的安全保障。Matthiessen表示,随着客户需求的增长,渣打银行将继续在主要金融中心投资数字资产能力。

渣打银行的加密资产托管业务通过其与Northern Trust共同设立的Zodia Custody发展而来。今年5月,渣打银行同意收购Zodia的剩余股份,目前尚待监管批准。周四的公告并未说明该交易是否已最终完成。

此前,渣打银行英国分行自2025年7月起已开始为机构客户处理可交割现货比特币和以太坊交易,而其迪拜分行则于上月通过外汇平台开展了相同业务。此外,《Cryptopolitan》曾报道,渣打银行也在为新加坡的Coinbase客户提供实时新加坡元资金划转服务。该Coinbase合作还涵盖交易、托管、质押和借贷业务,并允许该行的机构客户使用包括渣打银行在内的任何托管方进行加密资产交易结算。
