Standard Chartered, a multinational bank, is reportedly preparing to launch a Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) trading desk. If confirmed, this would make it one of the first global banking institutions to engage in spot crypto trading. The bank has neither confirmed nor denied the report but mentioned a demand from clients for BTC and ETH trading. The crypto community has welcomed this potential development, with some believing it could boost investor confidence and drive adoption. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs has also reported a renewed interest in crypto assets among its clients.
