How the Collateral Mirroring Program Works

[cryptoenthusiast]

Here’s the genius of the Standard Chartered + OKX program:

1️⃣ Institutional clients store crypto directly in the bank’s custody.
2️⃣ OKX mirrors those assets into its trading system, giving instant access for trading.
3️⃣ Institutions get the safety of a G-SIB (globally systemically important bank) without sacrificing the speed and flexibility of exchange trading.

Previously, exchanges handled custody themselves or used third-party providers. Now, this is a fully integrated, regulated model — a potential blueprint for safer crypto investing.
