Top British Bank’s Crypto Arm Launches an Innovative Earnings Program
Standard Chartered's crypto division, Zodia Custody, has introduced an innovative service tailored to crypto investors seeking passive income from their digital holdings.
This subsidiary, specializing in safeguarding crypto assets for institutions, recently inked a collaboration with OpenEden, a Singapore-based blockchain technology provider, to introduce the Zodia Custody Yield program. This program is designed to offer staking services exclusively to institutional clients.
The partnership between Zodia and OpenEden aims to meet the growing demand for digital asset products characterized by low-risk profiles, liquidity, and transparency.
Zodia elaborates on the benefits of this collaboration, stating, “Institutions will have access to real-world yield potential from US Treasury bills, facilitated by OpenEden’s platform, which ensures on-chain security and transparent management of real-world assets overseen by regulated fund managers.”
Jeremy Ng, co-founder of OpenEden, underscores the program’s mission to create yield opportunities for stablecoin holders, remarking, “There are substantial sums of stablecoins idling without generating returns for investors.
