This partnership aims to enhance institutional involvement
in digital assets. It also aligns with findings in an OKX-commissioned report
by Economist Impact, titled "Digital Assets as the New Alternative for
Institutional Investors: Market Dynamics, Opportunities and Challenges."
The report highlights the growing appeal of digital assets
for institutions and notes that 80% of hedge funds engaging in digital assets
use third-party custodians, underscoring a demand for separate trade execution
and asset custody.
OKX Global Chief Commercial Officer Lennix Lai said: "Standard
Chartered's extensive global banking expertise and unwavering commitment to
security aligns with our objective to provide exceptional crypto services and
reinforces the confidence of our institutional clients in managing their
