Standard Chartered Partners with FalconX to Facilitate Institutional Crypto Access
Standard Chartered has entered the cryptocurrency arena through a landmark partnership with FalconX, a digital asset prime broker. This collaboration marks the first instance of a major traditional bank aligning with a crypto-native firm to service institutional demand.
The move reflects growing pressure from large investors seeking regulated gateways into digital markets. "This partnership bridges the gap between legacy finance and crypto infrastructure," said Luke Boland, Standard Chartered’s Head of Fintech for Asia and emerging markets.
Institutional adoption continues accelerating as regulated entities build compliant on-ramps. FalconX’s institutional-grade liquidity and execution capabilities will now interface with Standard Chartered’s global banking network.
