On October 29, global leading digital currency trading and Web 3 technology company OKX announced the appointment of Standard Chartered as its third-party digital asset custody partner for global institutional business. Standard Chartered is an internationally leading cross-border bank connecting major markets worldwide.
OKX provides comprehensive services for institutional users, covering advanced trading features, robust risk management tools, and upgraded custody solutions. The signing of the custody agreement with Standard Chartered is a strong complement to these services. Leveraging Standard Chartered's extensive global banking experience and stringent risk management system, OKX aims to offer more secure and reliable custody solutions for institutional investors.
Lennix Lai, Global Chief Business Officer of OKX, stated: “We chose Standard Chartered as our institutional custody partner to optimize services and promote the deep integration of digital assets with the traditional financial ecosystem. Standard Chartered's rich global banking experience and firm commitment to security align closely with OKX's goal of providing exceptional digital currency services, helping to enhance institutional clients' confidence in digital asset management.”
Margaret Harwood-Jones, Head of Global Financing and Securities Services at Standard Chartered, said: “We are committed to providing custody services that meet the highest security and compliance standards. As OKX's third-party custody institution, we can apply our expertise to the evolving digital currency space, safeguarding institutional investors.”
This collaboration is expected to attract more institutions into the digital asset market, creating a more mature environment for global institutions. This aligns with the findings of a recent research brief titled “Digital Assets as the New Alternative for Institutional Investors: Market Dynamics, Opportunities, and Challenges”. The report, commissioned by OKX and authored by Economist Impact, indicates that institutional investors view digital assets as an opportunity not to be missed. Additionally, the report found that among all traditional and digital currency hedge funds using digital assets, 80% of funds choose third-party custody institutions, demonstrating a strong demand for the separation of trading execution and asset custody responsibilities.
