Standard Chartered's SC Ventures takes stake in market maker GSR as crypto market-making consolidates

  • —SC Ventures became GSR's first external strategic shareholder
  • —Institutional trades reached a record 72% share of market activity
  • —Derivatives-to-spot volume ratio stands at 9.6x
  • —FalconX filed for an IPO in May 2026
Why it matters: Banks are buying stakes in crypto market makers rather than building desks in-house, reshaping liquidity provision and setting up the sector for public listings.
