Standard Chartered stock (ISIN GB0004082847) was trading at EUR 25.49 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026, at 10:15 a.m. CEST. The bank launched institutional custody for Ripple USD on October 12, 2026, according to Treasury Management International.
RLUSD service is live
The custody service is available through Standard Chartered Bank's DIFC branch, which is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority. The bank is also working with Ripple and LMAX Group on a planned collateral arrangement that would let eligible clients keep RLUSD in bank custody while using its value for agreed trading and collateral-management products.
The collateral integration remains subject to documentation, testing, regulatory requirements, internal approvals and jurisdictional readiness. That distinction matters because the custody service is live, while the broader collateral workflow is still being implemented.
Second-quarter figures set context
The new digital-asset service arrives alongside the bank's latest reported quarter. For the second quarter of 2026, revenue was GBP 7.67 billion, down 2.64 percent from GBP 7.88 billion a year earlier, while earnings per share rose to GBP 0.58 from GBP 0.54, according to finanzen.ch. The mixed revenue and earnings comparison gives investors a measurable backdrop for the bank's expansion into digital-asset infrastructure.
Analyst coverage remains constructive but carries a wide valuation spread. MarketBeat reported on October 15, 2026, that Jefferies reaffirmed a Buy rating with a GBp 3,040 price target. The same report listed a GBp 2,492 average target and a GBp 1,351.50 to GBp 2,364.00 52-week range.
Next result date is October 28
The next substantiated date is October 28, 2026, when Standard Chartered is scheduled to publish its third-quarter results, according to Standard Chartered. The report should show whether the bank's operating performance is keeping pace with its expansion in custody and other digital services.
