Standard Chartered — institutional crypto trading launchAccessible record
Crypto moved fast. Here are three stories shaping the market.
First, Bitcoin fell below eighty thousand dollars after the U.S. economy added one hundred sixty-two thousand jobs in August, while unemployment held at four point one percent. The stronger labor signal revived rate-hike risk after yesterday’s relief rally.
Second, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded seven hundred thirty point eight million dollars in net inflows on September third. BlackRock, Fidelity and ARK led the intake, but one session does not establish a lasting demand trend.
Third, Standard Chartered launched institutional spot Bitcoin and Ether trading through its DIFC entity in the UAE. Clients can trade through the bank’s platforms and settle with a custodian of their choice.
The picture is mixed: institutional access is expanding, ETF demand accelerated, but macro data has put eighty thousand dollars back under pressure.
