Standard Chartered Puts Bitcoin on Its Dubai FX Rails — Its Third Crypto Product in Three Jurisdictions

Standard Chartered launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum trading on its Dubai-based eFX institutional foreign-exchange platform, per CoinDesk and Bitcoin Magazine — described as the first top-tier global bank to offer spot crypto trading in the UAE, delivered on the bank's existing institutional FX infrastructure rather than a separate crypto venture. The launch is the bank's third jurisdiction-specific crypto product, after the Anchorpoint HKD stablecoin joint venture under Hong Kong's HKMA regime and its participation in Swift's shared-ledger pilot.
