Standard Chartered and OKX have launched a pilot program allowing institutions to use crypto assets and tokenized money market funds as collateral. This initiative, under the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority's oversight, aims to enhance security by using Standard Chartered as a custodian.

The program, featuring partners like Franklin Templeton and Brevan Howard Digital, offers OKX clients access to onchain assets. This move is seen as a significant step in institutional crypto services, promoting security and regulatory compliance in the digital asset ecosystem.
