Standard Chartered has partnered with B2C2 to expand institutional access to digital asset markets.

The collaboration combines Standard Chartered’s global banking infrastructure with B2C2’s institutional crypto liquidity in spot and options markets. B2C2 clients — including asset managers, hedge funds and corporates — will gain future direct access to the bank’s payment rails and settlement network.

The partnership aims to reduce friction in fiat-to-crypto flows, improve settlement efficiency and strengthen the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets, supporting growing institutional demand for regulated crypto access.
