According to a report by Singapore media The Straits Times, DBS Bank announced today that it will launch financial products pegged to the prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Starting from the fourth quarter of 2024, institutional clients can invest in these encrypted assets through options trading and structured notes. DBS Bank has stated that it will be the first bank in Asia to launch such financial products.

The value of encrypted option contracts comes from the price of the underlying cryptocurrency, and investors can 'hedge' asset price fluctuations through such contracts. Structured notes are investment instruments issued in the form of notes, which are a type of financial innovation product obtained by combining "fixed income products" and "derivative financial products".

DBS Bank stated that customers who hold Bitcoin and Ethereum under DBS Bank can hedge their positions through different option structures to cope with market volatility. Customers who wish to manage the volatility of cryptocurrency assets can purchase put options, so that even if the price of Bitcoin falls below a fixed price at a future date, customers can still sell Bitcoin at that fixed price.

Jacky Tai, Head of Trading and Structure at DBS Bank Group, pointed out that professional investors are gradually increasing their digital asset allocation in their investment portfolios. This provides another pathway for professional investors to enter the digital asset market and allows them to adopt more advanced investment strategies to manage their digital asset portfolios.

Jacky Tai added:

This is consistent with DBS Bank's value proposition, which aims to provide qualified customers with access to a trusted institutional level digital asset ecosystem
