Standard Chartered Canton Network footprint runs primarily through Zodia Custody, the institutional digital-asset custodian it co-founded and backs alongside Northern Trust and SBI Holdings. Zodia joined the Canton Foundation to participate in network governance and became the first bank-backed custodian to offer institutional custody for Canton Coin, placing Standard Chartered indirectly in the same custody-and-settlement layer as Northern Trust, BitGo, and Taurus.
