关键洞察

渣打银行（Standard Chartered）的加密货币交易服务最初面向阿联酋的专业投资者客户。客户可通过现有银行账户交易比特币和以太坊，并由银行提供托管服务。此次财富业务推出的加密货币交易服务，紧随渣打银行在阿联酋和英国推出机构现货交易之后。渣打银行已在阿联酋为富裕客户推出加密货币交易服务。该服务允许符合条件的投资者通过现有银行账户访问比特币和以太坊的交易功能。渣打银行的加密货币交易服务已获得迪拜虚拟资产监管局（VARA）的批准，并首先服务于专业投资者客户。他们无需开设单独的交易所账户或个人钱包即可进行交易。此次推出将银行的服务范围从机构客户扩展至更广泛的领域。渣打银行称这是其在全球范围内首次针对富裕财富管理客户提供的加密货币交易服务，也是阿联酋地区国际银行提供的同类首创服务。Standard Chartered Bank has announced crypto trading services for eligible customers in the UAE. Source: X. Standard Chartered’s crypto trading services are currently available only to customers classified as “professional investors”. The announcement does not specify the minimum investment amount, fees, or transaction limits. It is also unclear whether the bank will offer additional digital assets in the future. Standard Chartered plans to expand this wealth management service to more markets, but no specific countries or launch dates have been announced yet. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only two assets available in the initial offering. This strategy focuses on serving wealthy customers rather than retail users, allowing eligible customers to access cryptocurrencies through their existing wealth management relationships.

该产品采用闭环运营模式。渣打银行在其银行生态系统内管理加密货币托管和结算。客户无需单独的交易所账户或个人钱包即可进行交易。银行表示，此结构旨在降低与第三方钱包相关的风险暴露。公告还提到了机构级托管和操作保障措施，但未详细说明这些保护措施。该服务由渣打银行的财富与零售银行部门、企业与投资银行部门以及 Zodia Markets 共同开发。Zodia Markets 是由 SC Ventures 支持的数字资产业务。此次合作将数字资产市场能力引入该安排。在直接交易之前，财富客户已通过银行的现金股票平台访问加密货币交易所交易基金（ETF）。他们还可以使用与加密市场挂钩的结构化产品和场外衍生品。渣打银行的加密货币交易服务在这些选项之外，增加了直接的 BTC 和 ETH 交易功能。

渣打银行加密货币交易紧随机构版推出

In September 2026, Standard Chartered Bank launched institutional spot trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum through its branch in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC). Eligible customers can execute transactions via existing electronic trading platforms and foreign exchange interfaces. They have the option to choose their own settlement providers, including Standard Chartered Bank’s own digital asset custody services. This makes Standard Chartered Bank’s cryptocurrency trading rates unique: wealth clients benefit from the bank’s closed-loop model, while institutional clients can opt for different custody options. The launch of the institutional version in the UAE follows Standard Chartered Bank’s introduction of spot cryptocurrency trading in the UK in July 2025. In September 2024, Standard Chartered Bank obtained regulatory approval from the DIFC to enter the field of digital asset custody in the UAE. Brevan Howard Digital is the platform’s first named client. This service initially supports Bitcoin and Ethereum. The bank is further expanding its digital asset services. On October 12th, it introduced the RLUSD custody service for eligible institutional clients through its DIFC branch. On October 8th, the bank outlined its plans for Singapore-based custody services, covering selected cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets. Standard Chartered Bank has not announced the exact launch date for Singapore, nor has it specified which assets are eligible for this service. Rola Abu Manneh, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank in the UAE, Middle East, and Pakistan, stated that the UAE is an ideal market for launching such services. She cited the country’s regulatory environment and its growing role in the digital asset sector. The UAE is also one of Standard Chartered Bank’s four major wealth management centers worldwide.
