Its tokenization of security offering also comprises a regulated platform for the issuance and trading of digital tokens backed by financial assets, including shares in unlisted companies, bonds, and private equity funds. The fiat trading pairs on the exchange are the Singapore dollar, Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
According to the official statement by the bank, this new service will allow its customers to hold Bitcoin with complete confidence about its custody and management. The fiat trading pairs on the exchange are the Singapore dollar, Hong Kong dollar, U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.
Joseph Poon, group head of DBS Private Bank, in a statement, said that “Our trust structure allows clients to conveniently hold these assets, with a peace of mind that they will be safely managed and passed on to their intended beneficiaries,” Bloomberg reports.
Bloomberg also reported that DBS’s digital exchange currently has 120 clients. The firm holds $60 million in assets under custody, with trading volumes up 10-fold to S$30 million to S$40 million.”
