Sygnum Bank

Sygnum is a regulated digital asset bank founded in 2017, headquartered in Zurich and Singapore. It holds a full banking and securities dealer licence from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and a Capital Markets Services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). In September 2024, its European subsidiary was registered with Liechtenstein’s FMA, providing a pathway to serve EU and EEA markets under MiCA. The bank also has a presence in Luxembourg and Abu Dhabi. In January 2025, Sygnum closed a $58 million growth round at a post-money valuation above $1 billion, reaching unicorn status.

The core product is institutional digital asset custody. Assets are held off-balance sheet in hardware security modules inside geo-redundant Tier IV Swiss data centres, with no counterparty risk to the bank. The solution is FINMA-approved and independently audited to ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3402 standards. Sygnum Protect extends custody off-exchange, letting clients hold collateral at the bank while trading on major exchanges. Additional services include spot and derivatives trading, Lombard lending, regulated staking, and asset tokenization. Sygnum Connect is a B2B infrastructure layer enabling other financial institutions to offer regulated digital asset services via 24/7 instant settlement.

Supported assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Polkadot, Tezos, SUI, and more than 30 digital assets tradeable against CHF, EUR, USD, and SGD. Staking is available for ETH, ADA, XTZ, and SOL. As of early 2026, Sygnum serves around 2,300 clients across more than 80 countries, with over $6 billion in custody.
