Standard Chartered (ISIN GB0004082847) stock was trading at EUR 25.28 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026, at 10:40 a.m. CEST. The bank appointed Ying Ying Tan as Global Head of Securities Services and Global Head of Digital Assets on October 14, 2026, according to Standard Chartered. The appointment is effective immediately and places Tan in charge of the bank's securities-services franchise and digital-assets agenda.

Tan takes charge of digital assets

Tan succeeds Margaret Harwood-Jones as Global Head of Securities Services, while Harwood-Jones becomes CEO of the United Kingdom and Europe business. Tan joined Standard Chartered in 2017 and will be based in Singapore, the company said in its October 14, 2026 release.

The leadership change connects custody, tokenization, digital-asset trading, financing and ecosystem partnerships under one executive. That structure gives the announcement a direct operational link to the bank's broader digital-assets strategy, rather than making it only a personnel change.

What does the next report add?

Standard Chartered's latest reported quarter showed adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.75 in the second quarter of 2026, above the USD 0.59 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 5.70 billion, up from USD 5.53 billion a year earlier, while the result delivered a 27.12 percent earnings surprise, according to Zacks on July 29, 2026. For investors, the next test is whether digital-assets expansion adds to that earnings base without raising execution costs.
