Sygnum, the global digital asset banking group, has announced the expansion of its asset management services to Germany and Liechtenstein, marking a significant step in its European growth strategy.
The move follows successful registrations in both countries and brings institutional-grade crypto yield opportunities to two markets with sophisticated investor bases.
Strong demand
Professional and institutional investors in Germany and Liechtenstein can now access Sygnum’s suite of investment capabilities, including its flagship non-directional, low-volatility strategy. Since inception, this strategy has delivered double-digit annualised returns by targeting yield-generating opportunities in the crypto market while seeking to limit technology and platform risk.
“Our expansion reflects strong demand from institutional investors seeking trusted access to sophisticated crypto investment strategies,” says Fabian Dori, Sygnum’s Chief Investment Officer. “Germany and Liechtenstein represent significant opportunities, with investors increasingly recognising digital assets as an essential component of diversified portfolios.”
The expansion builds on Sygnum’s foundation of regulatory credibility and institutional safeguards. With a full Swiss banking licence, capital markets and payment licences in Singapore, and recognition in Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, the firm is positioning itself as a trusted gateway between traditional finance and the digital asset economy.
Distribution in the EU will be handled via authorised partners under a liability umbrella arrangement with Reuss Private Access AG.
Building blocks
The expansion also comes amid a series of milestones for the group. Over the past year, Sygnum has broadened its tokenisation platform, surpassed CHF 5bn in assets under administration, and partnered with major institutions to co-develop custody and tokenisation solutions.
Additional European market entries are planned as part of Sygnum’s longer-term growth strategy. The firm’s leadership argues that digital assets are moving beyond niche allocations and into the mainstream of professional portfolio construction, creating demand for risk-adjusted strategies that meet institutional standards of compliance and security.
Global ambition
Most recently, it strengthened its partnership with Incore Bank to provide secure custody for its entire asset management product range. By integrating Sygnum’s modular B2B digital asset platform, Incore is expanding its digital asset services and giving its network early access to new products and infrastructure, a collaboration that underscores both banks’ role in driving trusted access to crypto markets.
Swiss firms are in the vanguard in creating institutional infrastructure for crypto. While other firms like Relai and Syz Capital are creating a healthy and competitive ecosystem. Soon they could be major global players – creating an international gold standard in digital asset management.
