An official Standard Chartered press release on the bank’s website announces a partnership with B2C2, a major crypto liquidity provider, specifically to expand institutional access to digital assets. This directly matches the claim that the bank announced a partnership with a liquidity provider aimed at improving institutional access to cryptocurrency services. The source is authoritative and primary, and there are no contradictions in other materials. Other linked pages provide general context on the bank’s digital asset strategy but do not conflict with the announcement.
