Global bank Standard Chartered has beefed up its banking support to the cryptocurrency industry by inking a new partnership with the crypto prime broker FalconX.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered will provide a comprehensive suite of banking services to FalconX\u2019s global institutional clients following the strategic partnership announced<\/a> on May 14.<\/p>\n

As part of the collaboration, FalconX will initially integrate Standard Chartered\u2019s banking infrastructure and access to a range of diverse currency pairs for its institutional clients.<\/p>\n

The partnership ultimately aims to include a broader range of offerings and mutual opportunities, the announcement noted.<\/p>\n

Crypto support beyond banking<\/h2>\n

The partnership is expected to \u201cexpand beyond banking\u201d into additional products and services designed to meet evolving crypto demand from both FalconX and Standard Chartered\u2019s institutional clients.<\/p>\n

The joint services will target a broad range of clients, including asset managers, hedge funds, token issuers and payment platforms, the companies said.<\/p>\n

Matt Long, FalconX\u2019s general manager of APAC and Middle East, referred to Standard Chartered as \u201cone of the most forward-thinking global banks in digital asset adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt FalconX, we support trading and financing for some of the world\u2019s largest institutions in digital asset markets, and this relationship strengthens our ability to deliver robust banking and FX solutions to clients who rely on us to operate in crypto markets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered proud to provide banking services to crypto firms<\/h2>\n

Standard Chartered\u2019s collaboration with FalconX underscores the bank\u2019s dedication to improving the digital asset ecosystem, said Luke Boland, the bank\u2019s South Asia head of fintech.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs institutional demand for digital assets continues to grow, we\u2019re proud to provide the banking infrastructure that enables firms like FalconX to deliver world-class trading and financing solutions to institutional clients,\u201d Boland stated in the announcement.<\/p>\n

Standard Chartered\u2019s latest crypto move comes as yet another effort by the bank to provide banking services to the crypto industry.<\/p>\n

In April, Standard Chartered partnered with major crypto exchange OKX<\/a> to pilot cryptocurrency and tokenized fund collateral to institutional investors.<\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s involvement in the cryptocurrency industry dates back to 2016, when Standard Chartered made<\/a> a strategic investment in Ripple, the company behind the XRP (XRP<\/a>) cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

The growing banking commitment to crypto comes in line with expectations of executives at industry firms including Messari and Sygnum Bank, who predicted a global banking push into Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC<\/a>) in the second half of 2025 amid favorable regulatory developments.<\/p>\n
