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.
Standard Chartered will provide a comprehensive suite of banking services to 
FalconX&#8217;s global institutional clients following a strategic partnership, the 
companies announced on May 14.
As part of the collaboration, FalconX will initially integrate Standard 
Chartered&#8217;s banking infrastructure and access to a range of diverse currency 
pairs for its institutional clients.
The partnership ultimately aims to include a broader range of offerings and 
mutual opportunities, the announcement noted.
## Crypto support beyond banking
The partnership is expected to &#8220;expand beyond banking&#8221; into additional 
products and services designed to meet the evolving crypto demand from both 
FalconX and Standard Chartered&#8217;s institutional clients.
The joint services will target a broad range of clients, including asset 
managers, hedge funds, token issuers and payment platforms, the companies 
said.
Matt Long, FalconX&#8217;s general manager of APAC and Middle East, referred to 
Standard Chartered as &#8220;one of the most forward-thinking global banks in 
digital asset adoption.&#8221;
&#8220;At FalconX, we support trading and financing for some of the world&#8217;s 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,&#8221; he stated.
## SC is proud to provide banking services to crypto firms
Standard Chartered&#8217;s collaboration with FalconX underscores the bank&#8217;s 
dedication to improving the digital asset ecosystem, Luke Boland, the bank&#8217;s 
South Asia head of fintech, said.
&#8220;As institutional demand for digital assets continues to grow, we&#8217;re proud to 
provide the banking infrastructure that enables firms like FalconX to deliver 
world-class trading and financing solutions to institutional clients,&#8221; Boland 
stated in the announcement.
Standard Chartered&#8217;s latest crypto move comes as yet another effort by the 
bank to provide banking services to the crypto industry.

In April, Standard Chartered partnered with major crypto exchange OKX to pilot 
cryptocurrency and tokenized fund collaterals to institutional investors.
The bank&#8217;s involvement in the cryptocurrency industry dates back to 2016, when 
Standard Chartered made a strategic investment in Ripple, a company behind the 
XRP (XRP) cryptocurrency.
The growing banking commitment to crypto comes in line with expectations by 
executives of major industry firms, including Messari and Sygnum Bank, who 
forecasted a global banking push into Bitcoin (BTC) in the second half of 2025 
amid favorable regulatory developments.
