Standard Chartered has started offering Bitcoin and Ether trading to Professional Investor clients in the UAE through existing bank accounts. The bank says custody and settlement stay inside its own system, and Dubai approval was tied to access for affluent clients.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Wealthy UAE clients who use Standard Chartered’s private banking services are the immediate group affected, because they can now access BTC and ETH trading through the bank rather than through a separate crypto setup. The change is visible in how the accounts work today: the bank says the trading is available to Professional Investor clients in the UAE and does not require a separate wallet.
