Standard Chartered (STAN): news on Wednesday 7 October 2026
+5.0 positive
Coverage was dominated by the bank's venture arm joining OKX's funding round at a $25 billion valuation, alongside news of its VCC platform passing $2.6 billion and a new Hong Kong wealth centre. Mildly offsetting this were a slipping share price and a cut to its bitcoin target.
