Official announcement from Zodia Markets.

Everyone at Zodia Markets would like to congratulate Standard Chartered on the launch of their digital asset trading desk. As the first global bank to offer deliverable spot BTC and ETH trading for institutional clients, this is another clear signal that digital assets are no longer emerging, they’re here.

For many institutions, the involvement of a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) like Standard Chartered provides a significant endorsement. As more trading desks and market makers enter the ecosystem the entire industry benefits, from deeper liquidity, tighter spreads and greater optionality.

We’re proud to be part of Standard Chartered’s digital asset journey, helping to shape adoption from the earliest stages. This launch is part of a collective vision to accelerate the integration of digital assets into the institutional mainstream.

While Standard Chartered’s launch will help broaden participation, Zodia Markets remains the purpose-built digital asset infrastructure providing clients with real-time settlement, capital efficiency across hundreds of asset pairs and the ability to move money faster. We remain committed to delivering the same bank-grade standards and controls with the highest level of service, transparency and innovation our clients value.
