FalconX and Standard Chartered Forge Strategic Crypto Partnership

The move is aimed at enhancing support for institutional investors seeking exposure to digital assets through established financial channels.

The strategic alliance will enable FalconX to leverage Standard Chartered’s banking and foreign exchange infrastructure, offering access to a wide range of fiat currencies. According to Matt Long, FalconX’s General Manager for APAC and the Middle East, this integration will result in faster fiat settlements, improved capital efficiency, and reduced operational risk for clients.

“This means a lot faster settlement, better capital efficiency, and overall reduced operational risk,” Long told Reuters.
