The exchange will also offer Digital Custody Services and the ability to tokenize securities or other assets. The Singapore Stock Exchange will receive a 10% stake in DBS Digital Exchange.

Information that the bank plans to launch a crypto exchange appeared at the end of October. The press release was later removed from the site, and DBS said the initiative was under development.

Notably, DBS Digital Exchange is a little bit different from others. The usual cryptocurrency exchange is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, the DBS Digital Exchange will be opened for business from 9 am to 4 pm on weekdays and closed on weekends, similar to stock exchanges.
