DBS would like to expand its current investor base

During an earnings call following the release of fourth quarter results on Monday, February 14, CEO Piyush Gupta was asked if DBS Bank had a roadmap for launching digital asset trading for retail investors. While the CEO did not provide a definitive answer, he did say that DBS Bank has taken some steps to expand its current investor base and is looking for a meaningful way to do so, while also considering the potential risks of increased fraud.

Gupta also said that the bank would focus on making access to the digital asset trading desk more convenient for its existing customers in the first half of the year. Currently, customers must call a bank employee to place a crypto order over the phone. The plan, Gupta said, is to do this online and self-service. DBS has not yet disclosed more information about the crypto trading platform, such as whether you can transfer digital assets purchased there to other providers or crypto wallets.

DBS Bank made a massive move into the crypto industry

As previously reported, DBS Bank has made a massive entry into the crypto industry in recent years, launching its own institutional crypto exchange in December 2020. The company has been actively expanding the range of supported services for digital assets on the exchange and launched a crypto trustee solution in May 2021 and recently the bank expanded the trading hours of the desk to be 24/7 to match the tempo of crypto. Prior, trading was done on bankers’ hours within Singapore’s time zone

Last year, DBS issued a $15 million bond as a security token offering (STO). STOs are regulated token offerings that are often considered "legitimate" ICOs. This type of offering has not attracted much attention in Asia. Some experts believe that the fact that STOs must remain within the confines of a securities clearinghouse contradicts the idea of cryptocurrency and therefore will not generate much interest among investors.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
