Bilanz highlights in an article by Erich Bürgler the position of Sygnum Bank within Switzerland’s crypto market. Under Group CEO Mathias Imbach, the Zurich-based bank, holding a Swiss banking license, reached unicorn status in early 2025 after a funding round, with a valuation exceeding USD 1 billion.
Sygnum offers a wide range of digital financial services, including crypto-backed loans, custody of digital assets, and regulated trading for both private and institutional clients. In addition to its Swiss banking license, the bank holds licenses in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Luxembourg, and is registered in Liechtenstein.
The latest funding round supports the bank’s expansion into the EU/EEA and Hong Kong and strengthens the institutional infrastructure Sygnum has been building since 2019.
