🗓️ Jun 03 2026 15:19 UTC - Riya Kapoor
Standard Chartered moves to acquire Zodia Custody. Analysts eye institutional risk and competitive pressure in the race for digital asset dominance.
➤ Standard Chartered is acquiring Zodia Custody to expand its digital asset custody services for institutional clients, bypassing the need for in-house infrastructure development.
➤ The acquisition aims to leverage Zodia's existing global footprint and technical capabilities to create a new revenue stream through white-labeling services, focusing on compliance (AML/KYC).
➤ Despite the strategic move, Standard Chartered faces significant competition, counterparty risks, and regulatory uncertainties across different jurisdictions, particularly concerning accounting standards for tokenized assets.
