Standard Chartered and OKX launched a pioneering collateral mirroring programme. This initiative allows institutional clients to use cryptocurrencies and tokenised money market funds as off-exchange collateral for trading.

The programme significantly enhances security and capital efficiency for these clients. A Globally Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) serves as the custodian for their collateral.
