Standard Chartered has made a groundbreaking move by becoming the first major global bank to offer direct spot cryptocurrency trading services, specifically for bitcoin and ether paired against the US dollar. Launched on July 15, 2025, this service is aimed at institutional clients, including corporates, asset managers, and investors.

This initiative reflects the accelerating integration of digital currencies like bitcoin and ether into mainstream finance, highlighting the growing demand from traditional financial institutions for crypto-related services.

For traders and investors interested in cryptocurrency but hesitant about full upfront payments, platforms like Bitlet.app provide a unique solution. Bitlet.app offers a Crypto Installment service allowing users to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay monthly, making crypto investing more accessible.

The move by Standard Chartered, combined with innovative services like those offered by Bitlet.app, signal a promising future where cryptocurrencies become an integral part of global financial services.
