DBS unveils crypto options trading and structured notes for wealth clients

They may earn yield on fiat depending on the product’s structure and price movements.

DBS has launched over-the-counter cryptocurrency options trading and structured notes for its institutional investors and wealth clients.

DBS said that it is the first Asian-headquartered bank to offer these financial products, whose value is linked to the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Starting Q4 2024, eligible clients may build exposure to digital assets through options trading and structured notes. 

Clients may earn yield on fiat or take delivery of the underlying cryptocurrency, depending on the product’s structure and cryptocurrency price movements.

Eligible clients custodising Bitcoin and Ethereum with DBS may also hedge their positions against market volatility and potentially earn yield through various options structures, DBS said.
