SINGAPORE, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FalconX, the leading institutional digital asset prime broker, today announces a strategic partnership with Standard Chartered, a leading international cross-border banking group. In the first phase of the partnership, Standard Chartered will provide a comprehensive suite of banking services to FalconX globally, further strengthening the platform’s offerings for institutional clients. The engagement will expand to include a broader range of offerings and mutual opportunities.
Through this collaboration, FalconX will initially integrate Standard Chartered’s banking infrastructure and access to an extensive range of currency pairs, enhancing the speed, scale, and reliability of cross-border settlement for its institutional client base. This continues FalconX’s efforts to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets with enterprise-grade infrastructure.
Matt Long, General Manager, APAC & Middle East at FalconX, commented: “We are pleased to partner with Standard Chartered, one of the most forward-thinking global banks in digital asset adoption. At FalconX, we support trading and financing for some of the world’s largest institutions in digital asset markets, and this relationship strengthens our ability to deliver robust banking and FX solutions to clients who rely on us to operate in crypto markets.”
As FalconX continues to grow its global footprint, the partnership is expected to expand beyond banking into additional products and services tailored to the evolving needs of FalconX’s and Standard Chartered’s institutional clients — including asset managers, hedge funds, token issuers, and payment platforms.
Luke Boland, Head of Fintech, ASEAN, South Asia & GCNA at Standard Chartered, added: “Our collaboration with FalconX underscores our commitment to advancing the digital asset ecosystem. As institutional demand for digital assets continues to grow, we’re proud to provide the banking infrastructure that enables firms like FalconX to deliver world-class trading and financing solutions to institutional clients.”
