Their decision to join our platform marks a major milestone in expanding the Swiss digital securities ecosystem with an international bank. This step strengthens Switzerland’s position as a global hub for digital assets and enhances connectivity between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.”
Margaret Harwood-Jones, Global Head of Financing and Securities Services at Standard Chartered said: “We see SDX as a pioneer and leading institution for digital securities in Switzerland, and this next step in our journey supports our ambition to grow our digital asset custody offering and will unlock even greater opportunities for our clients.”
