Standard Chartered and Coinbase Expand Institutional Crypto Partnership

The effort targets regulated access for large investors, with development proceeding without announced timelines.

Overview

  • The collaboration will develop services for trading, prime services, custody, staking and lending tailored to banks, funds and other major clients.
  • It builds on their Singapore setup where Standard Chartered enables real-time SGD transfers for Coinbase customers, supporting the exchange’s November 12 market push there.
  • Both companies emphasize secure, compliant infrastructure that gives institutions multiple regulated routes to trade, settle and hold digital assets.
  • No launch dates or pricing were disclosed, with joint testing planned across regions where the firms operate.
  • Standard Chartered has broadened its crypto capabilities, including earlier 2025 spot trading in Bitcoin and Ether for institutions, as bank–crypto infrastructure partnerships gain traction.
