Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures makes strategic investment in GSR, becoming its first external shareholder

This investment further strengthens the partnership established between the two companies last month. GSR previously invested in Libeara, a tokenization platform backed by SC Ventures, as a key move to expand its crypto capital markets business. Earlier this year, GSR also acquired Autonomous and Architech to broaden its token lifecycle management services. Recently, GSR launched its first fund—the GSR Crypto Core3 ETF—the industry’s first actively managed, multi-asset crypto fund to enable staking.
