Standard Chartered Weighs Bringing Part of Zodia Custody In-House

The core statement is strongly supported by Bloomberg's article, 'Standard Chartered Considers Merging Zodia Custody With Digital Asset Unit - Bloomberg', which explicitly says Standard Chartered is seeking to merge parts of Zodia Custody with one of its digital-asset operations and plans to integrate Zodia’s crypto custody business into a division inside its corporate and investment bank. The BlockBeats flash at https://m.theblockbeats.info/flash/340213 closely matches the fuller wording in the claim, including the Luxembourg digital-asset unit and the idea that Zodia would remain an independent SaaS business. PANews is weaker and somewhat imprecise, but it still points in the same direction that Standard Chartered is evaluating a transaction involving Zodia. Because Bloomberg is authoritative and directly aligned, the statement is likely true.
