DBS Private Bank started Asia’s first bank-backed trust solution for cryptocurrencies as demand for digital assets increases.

The offering will allow private banking clients to invest, custodize and manage these assets in a safe, secure, and structured manner, DBS Group Holdings Ltd. said in a statement on Friday. It builds on the DBS Digital Exchange, which launched in December, and offers institutional investors and accredited investors a fully-integrated tokenization, trading and custody ecosystem for digital assets.
