HSBC announced today that it plans to launch a new digital assets custody service for institutional clients who invest in tokenised securities.
Once live in 2024, HSBC’s new digital assets custody service will complement HSBC Orion, the bank’s platform for issuing digital assets, as well as HSBC’s recently launched offering for tokenised physical gold. Together, these form a complete digital asset offering for HSBC’s institutional clients.
HSBC is working with Swiss enterprise tech firm, Metaco, to use its institutional platform, Harmonize, as part of HSBC’s new custody service for digital assets. Metaco’s Harmonize solution helps unify security and management of digital asset operations.
