Standard Chartered (ISIN GB0004082847) was trading at EUR 26.31 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 9:18 a.m. CEST. The bank had launched live institutional custody for Ripple USD, or RLUSD, on October 12, 2026, according to Standard Chartered.

RLUSD custody goes live

The service gives eligible institutional clients access to Standard Chartered's digital-asset custody infrastructure through its DIFC branch, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority. The release also described planned work with Ripple and LMAX Group to make RLUSD eligible collateral for agreed trading and collateral-management products.

The arrangement is designed to let clients hold assets in custody while mirroring eligible collateral to LMAX Group, rather than transferring the underlying RLUSD directly to the trading venue. The stated aim is to reduce transfer-related operational risk and improve capital efficiency, although the planned capabilities remain subject to documentation, testing, approvals and jurisdictional readiness.

Second-quarter figures set the base

Standard Chartered's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 5.70 billion, up 3.07 percent from USD 5.53 billion a year earlier, according to Zacks. Adjusted earnings per share came in at USD 0.75, above the USD 0.59 consensus estimate and ahead of USD 0.74 in the same quarter of 2025.

The earnings comparison gives the custody announcement a financial backdrop: digital-asset services are being added to a bank that is already producing growth across its international franchise. The RLUSD release states that Standard Chartered operates in 55 markets, while its London and Hong Kong listings give the initiative visibility across two major financial centers.

Results arrive October 28

Standard Chartered's investor-relations calendar schedules third-quarter 2026 results for October 28, 2026, with the release at 4:00 a.m. UK time and a virtual presentation at 8:00 a.m. UK time, according to Standard Chartered. That report will show whether the second-quarter revenue advance and USD 0.75 adjusted earnings per share were sustained into the next reporting period.
