Standard Chartered-Backed Zodia Custody Now Safeguards Tokenized Emeralds—Because Even Gemstones Need Blockchain
Banking giant Standard Chartered's crypto arm just leveled up—Zodia Custody is now securing digitized emeralds. Because nothing says 'modern finance' like billion-year-old rocks on a blockchain.
From vaults to validators
Zodia's move into gemstone tokenization proves institutional custody isn't just about Bitcoin anymore. The platform—already trusted for crypto assets—is bridging ancient wealth stores with decentralized ledgers.
The irony isn't lost
Wall Street spent years mocking crypto as 'not real.' Now they're tokenizing everything from art to emeralds. Guess those diamond hands need something to hold besides memecoins.
