COINOTAG News, December 12, citing CoinDesk, reports that Coinbase and Standard Chartered are expanding their collaboration in the digital assets space, targeting product lines for institutional clients across trading, prime brokerage, custody, staking, and lending. The push builds on a prior Singapore-based partnership.

The expanded mandate centers on delivering integrated banking rails to facilitate interbank-style settlement for crypto activity, enabling real-time transfers in Singapore dollars and smoother liquidity for Coinbase customers within the Asian market.

By pairing Coinbase’s asset capabilities with Standard Chartered’s banking connectivity, the alliance aims to strengthen risk controls, operational resilience, and scalability for large-volume trades and custody solutions.

Market observers will monitor regulatory developments and the demand for professional crypto-services as more financial institutions pursue formalized, compliant digital-asset offerings.
