Sygnum Bank has officially introduced Sygnum Select, a dedicated crypto asset management service aimed at the growing $100 billion corporate digital asset treasury (DAT) market.
The platform is designed for institutions such as public companies, foundations, pension funds, and family offices that hold significant crypto reserves but require structured, bank-grade portfolio management rather than simple custody.
Applying Private Banking to Digital Assets
Sygnum Select operates under a discretionary mandate model, similar to traditional Swiss private banking. Under this framework, Sygnum is granted execution authority to actively manage client portfolios within pre-agreed risk and strategy parameters.
This goes beyond storage services, offering professional portfolio construction and risk oversight tailored to institutional needs.
Broad Strategy Coverage
The investment scope includes spot crypto exposure, staking strategies for yield generation, derivatives-based hedging, and access to tokenized securities.
The service is structured to manage treasury allocations across different time horizons. For example, it can allocate assets for short-term operational needs such as protocol development, while also overseeing long-term strategic holdings.
Risk mitigation tools include active portfolio rebalancing and market-neutral strategies aimed at reducing exposure to crypto’s inherent volatility.
Live Mandates and Expansion Plans
At launch, Sygnum Select began with approximately $200 million in actively managed portfolios under live client mandates.
Initially available exclusively to Swiss clients, the bank plans to expand access internationally throughout 2026 as regulatory clarity improves across jurisdictions.
With this launch, Sygnum is positioning itself as a bridge between traditional wealth management infrastructure and institutional crypto treasury management.
