Standard Chartered’s Singapore branch plans to offer custody services for selected crypto assets, stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, or RWAs, to institutional investors, according to a BlockBeats newsflash published on Oct. 8. The bank said the planned offering would extend its existing digital-asset custody footprint rather than mark a standalone new line outside that business. Standard Chartered already provides related crypto-asset custody services in the United Arab Emirates, Luxembourg and Hong Kong. The update points specifically to an institutional client focus in Singapore and covers three asset buckets named in the report: certain crypto assets, stablecoins and tokenized RWAs. No launch date, asset list or additional operational details were disclosed in the source item.
