Standard Chartered and B2C2 partner to expand institutional access to digital assets

Singapore – Standard Chartered and B2C2, a global leader in institutional liquidity for digital assets, announced a strategic partnership to enhance institutional access to digital asset markets. The collaboration combines Standard Chartered’s global banking infrastructure with B2C2’s deep crypto liquidity across spot and options markets.

Under the agreement, B2C2 will offer its institutional client base, including asset managers, hedge funds, corporates, and family offices, future direct connectivity and liquidity provision to Standard Chartered’s network of banking rails and world-class settlement facilities. The partnership aims to deliver a best-in-class client experience by combining regulated banking services with institutional-grade crypto liquidity.

Institutional adoption of digital assets continues to accelerate across Asia and beyond, driven by growing demand for regulated access to crypto as an emerging asset class. By providing B2C2’s clients with access to Standard Chartered’s banking network, the partnership helps bridge the traditional finance and crypto markets, reducing friction in fiat-to-crypto flows while enabling faster, more reliable settlement.

Luke Boland, Head of Fintech, Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “As digital assets move from the periphery to the core of global finance, we are enabling regulated, scalable market linkage without compromising execution or risk management.”

Thomas Restout, Group CEO, B2C2, added: “Standard Chartered’s global reach, strong regulatory credentials and commitment to digital assets make it an ideal strategic counterpart as we continue to expand our institutional footprint. Together, we are building a durable connectivity layer between traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem.”
