Crypto prime broker FalconX has announced a landmark partnership with global banking giant Standard Chartered, marking FalconX’s first collaboration with a traditional bank.
The move is aimed at enhancing support for institutional investors seeking exposure to digital assets through established financial channels.
The strategic alliance will enable FalconX to leverage Standard Chartered’s banking and foreign exchange infrastructure, offering access to a wide range of fiat currencies. According to Matt Long, FalconX’s General Manager for APAC and the Middle East, this integration will result in faster fiat settlements, improved capital efficiency, and reduced operational risk for clients.
“This means a lot faster settlement, better capital efficiency, and overall reduced operational risk,” Long told Reuters.
Meeting Institutional Demand
The California-based FalconX serves some of the world’s top institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, hedge funds, and family offices. The collaboration signals growing institutional interest in crypto via trusted and regulated banking channels.
Standard Chartered said the partnership reflects an uptick in digital asset adoption among its institutional clientele and is part of a broader trend of traditional financial firms deepening their crypto capabilities.
This deal underscores the accelerating convergence between legacy financial systems and the digital asset economy, as institutional demand continues to reshape how crypto services are delivered.
