渣打銀行 (Standard Chartered) 的子公司 Zodia Custody Ltd 正在洽談從投資者那裡獲得約 5,000 萬美元的資金。

據報道，全球第 44 大銀行持有多數股權的一家加密貨幣託管公司正計劃籌集更多資金。

Bloomberg reports that Zodia Custody Ltd, a subsidiary of Standard Chartered, is in talks to secure approximately $50 million in funding from investors.

彭博社報道稱，渣打銀行子公司 Zodia Custody Ltd 正在洽談從投資者那裡獲得約 5,000 萬美元的資金。

According to Zodia Custody chief executive Julian Sawyer, the capital raise will help fund the expansion of the business into new countries and territories while widening the product range.

Zodia Custody 執行長 Julian Sawyer 表示，此次融資將有助於為業務擴展到新的國家和地區提供資金，同時擴大產品範圍。

“We are looking at expanding into new jurisdictions, both in terms of our fully licensed operations and our limited presence footprints, and we are also looking at expanding our product range,” Sawyer told Bloomberg in an interview.

索耶在接受彭博社採訪時表示：“我們正在考慮擴展到新的司法管轄區，無論是在我們完全許可的業務還是在有限的業務範圍方面，我們也在考慮擴大我們的產品範圍。”

Zodia Custody currently serves 15 jurisdictions and has offices in London, Dublin, Luxembourg, Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The digital asset custodian supports over 50 crypto assets and this includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), BNB, Polkadot (DOT), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).

Besides the majority owner Standard Chartered, Zodia’s other backers include the National Australia Bank and financial services firm Northern Trust Corp.

Zodia Custody is now reportedly interested in attracting a more diverse set of investors outside of large financial firms.

除了大股東渣打銀行外，Zodia 的其他支持者還包括澳洲國民銀行和金融服務公司 Northern Trust Corp。據報道，Zodia Custody 現在有興趣吸引大型金融公司以外的更多元化的投資者。

In December of 2023, the Ripple Labs-owned digital assets infrastructure provider Metaco announced integration with Zodia Custody.

2023 年 12 月，Ripple Labs 旗下的數位資產基礎設施供應商 Metaco 宣布與 Zodia Custody 整合。

“The integration enables institutions to access Zodia Custody’s bank-grade custody solutions through Metaco. The expanded collaboration between the two companies follows a longstanding strategic relationship and is designed to further build out networked options for institutional investors, enabling them to gain additional secure, reliable and compliant end-to-end digital asset service capabilities.”

「此次整合使機構能夠透過 Metaco 存取 Zodia Custody 的銀行級託管解決方案。兩家公司之間的擴大合作遵循了長期的戰略關係，旨在進一步為機構投資者構建網絡化選擇，使他們能夠獲得額外的安全、可靠和合規的端到端數字資產服務能力。
