埃里溫 (CoinChapter.com)——渣打銀行在盧森堡獲得數位資產許可證後，在歐洲推出了加密服務。

該銀行新成立的盧森堡實體將作為尋求安全託管加密貨幣的機構客戶的受監管網關。

On January 9, Standard Chartered announced its plans to operate within the MiCA framework, with former head of innovation at Societe Generale, Laurent Marochini, appointed as the CEO of the Luxembourg entity.

"We are not offering trading through Luxembourg; there is no clear timeline as that is not planned for the moment,” Chaudry stated.

喬德里表示：“我們不會通過盧森堡提供交易；目前還沒有計劃，所以沒有明確的時間表。”

Standard Chartered also highlighted the high-security measures integrated into its custody services. The bank is allocating significant risk capital and balance sheet resources to ensure robust protection of client assets.

The custody service focuses on safeguarding digital assets, with the Luxembourg entity operating under stringent financial regulations.
