DDEx’s digital token trade value triples in 5M 2024

Active trading clients have also grown by 36% during the period.

The value of digital tokens traded via the DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) has tripled during the first five months of 2024 compared to the same period last year, according to DBS.

Active trading clients in DDEx have also grown by 36% over the same period of comparison.

Digital assets custodised with DBS surged 80% in Singapore dollar terms, according to the bank.

DBS said that the stronger performance was a result of a net inflow of deposits from new and existing clients seeking safe-haven bank-grade platforms to custodise and trade digital assets.

“Professional investors are increasingly viewing digital assets as a legitimate part of their alternative portfolios. They require platforms that provide them complete safety of their assets, seamless access to an entire ecosystem of digital asset services, and the ability to manage digital asset and traditional portfolios side-by-side,” noted Lim Wee Kian, CEO of DDEx.

“We remain committed to expanding the suite of products for professional investors entering this asset class. To that end, we are studying listing stablecoins on our exchange and studying how to enable clients to earn rewards through Ethereum staking. We also continue to evaluate suitable security token offering opportunities,” Lim added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
