Standard Chartered Bank’s Dubai branch offers custody services for RLUSD, and plans to integrate with LMAX’s trading collateral system.

2026.10.12 20:22:14

Standard Chartered Dubai has launched custody services for Ripple’s USD stablecoin RLUSD for eligible institutional clients, supporting RLUSD issued on the XRP Ledger. The bank also plans to collaborate with Ripple and institutional trading platform LMAX Group, allowing clients to use RLUSD held with Standard Chartered as collateral for trades on LMAX’s platform, without transferring the stablecoin to the trading venue. Standard Chartered noted that the collateral arrangement has not yet gone live, as it still needs to complete document signing, testing, regulatory compliance, and internal approvals. This model separates asset custody from trade execution, enabling institutional clients to hold stablecoins with the bank while using them as trading collateral. In January this year, Ripple provided LMAX with $150 million in financing to integrate RLUSD into its institutional trading infrastructure. If the partnership is implemented, it will further expand RLUSD’s applications in institutional trading collateral scenarios. Additionally, Standard Chartered has been expanding its digital asset custody business, and last week announced plans to offer custody services for select cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets to institutional clients in Singapore.

Threshold Network suspends tBTC cross-chain functionality, stating that its asset reserves are sufficient and no funds have been lost.

According to official announcements, Threshold Network has temporarily suspended tBTC minting and redemption. tBTC remains fully collateralized with no funds lost to date. The cross-chain bridge wallet holds approximately 4,320 BTC, while ~4,185 tBTC is in circulation. No unauthorized minting or Bitcoin transfer records have been identified. In response to the recently disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability (CVE-2026-98432)—which could allow attackers to execute code remotely on unpatched servers—all tBTC node operators have either completed server patching or temporarily shut down their nodes pending a fix release. The team has found no evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited to target tBTC nodes. Separately, a node operator reported the same day a separate security incident unrelated to the kernel flaw affecting its broader infrastructure, leading to the theft of ~0.5 ETH from the Ethereum account used by its tBTC node for transaction fees. The node was offline at the time, and the operator found no evidence of unauthorized access to signing key materials. Threshold Network stressed that Bitcoin transactions in the tBTC wallet require signatures from a majority of independent operators, meaning no single operator can transfer funds unilaterally. The cross-chain bridge will reopen once security maintenance is complete and nodes resume operation on patched systems. The team will release its next update within 24 hours, and will provide earlier notifications if circumstances change.
