Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures is planning a crypto prime brokerage for institutional clients, offering custody, financing, trading, and clearing for Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital assets while avoiding Basel III 1250 percent capital charges. The move builds on the bank’s July 2025 debut in spot Bitcoin and Ether trading, its Zodia Custody expansion, Coinbase partnerships, and the 140 billion dollar spot ETF surge amid the UK’s 2026 crypto regulations. Talks are at an early stage with no confirmed launch date, reflecting growing Wall Street interest in institutional crypto.
