 <p>London-based Standard Chartered Bank has said that it has chosen Dubai as its base for launching crypto services. The bank will start by providing crypto custody services for institutional clients in the first quarter of 2024.</p>
 <p>According to Waqar Chaudry, Executive Director of Innovation at Standard Chartered, <strong>“Back in 2018, when places like Singapore and the UAE were busy consulting on crypto assets, some other regions had not even made the distinction between a security and non-security status when it came to crypto assets.”&nbsp;</strong></p>

 <p>Chaudry added, <strong>“UAE, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong are beginning to move faster.”</strong></p>
 <p>The UAE (United Arab Emirates) is one of the fastest-growing crypto adoption and innovation hubs. Dubai, in particular, with its VARA (Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority), has spearheaded the crypto revolution in the region. Hence, it is not surprising to see so many institutes beginning to offer cryptos services in the area.</p>
