Metalpha Partners with AMINA Bank for Strategic Crypto Equity Fund Collaboration

Metalpha Technology Holding Limited, a digital asset-focused wealth management company, announces a strategic partnership with AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss crypto bank with global reach. The collaboration will co-develop innovative digital asset solutions, starting with the distribution of Principal Fund I, a crypto equity fund. AMINA will be the first regulated crypto service provider to offer a comprehensive crypto equity exposure product to qualified professional investors in the Hong Kong market.

Metalpha Technology Holding Limited, a leading digital asset-focused wealth management company, has announced a strategic partnership with AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss crypto bank with a global reach. This collaboration aims to co-develop innovative digital asset solutions, with the initial focus on the distribution of Principal Fund I, a crypto equity fund. AMINA Bank will be among the first regulated crypto service providers to offer a comprehensive crypto equity exposure product to qualified professional investors in the Hong Kong market [1].

The partnership was announced on August 28, 2025, and is set to advance digital asset wealth management capabilities in Hong Kong. The collaboration combines AMINA's regulated infrastructure with Metalpha's expertise in proprietary investment strategies. The group-level framework will establish ongoing development of solutions that bridge traditional finance and digital assets [1].

Principal Fund I, the inaugural product of this collaboration, offers comprehensive exposure to the broader crypto ecosystem through a portfolio of listed equities. The fund has outperformed the benchmark index by more than 20% since August 2024 and is managed by Hong Kong SFC Type 9 licensed LSQ Capital Limited. It is available to qualified professional investors with a minimum investment of $1M USD [1].

The partnership launch coincides with record institutional demand for crypto exposure. US Bitcoin ETFs, for instance, have seen the fastest growth in AUM, accumulating over 150 billion since early 2024. The demand for regulated, high-performance digital asset products is unprecedented [1].

Michael Benz, Head of APAC at AMINA Bank, highlighted that Hong Kong's strategic focus on building institutional crypto infrastructure is now evolving towards broader professional investor adoption. He emphasized that the partnership with Metalpha positions AMINA to create a unique value proposition for the next phase of digital asset and wealth management [1].

The collaboration addresses the needs of family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors seeking sophisticated exposure to the evolving digital asset ecosystem. It reflects the broader trend of integrating crypto assets with traditional finance, as seen in the debut of spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in Hong Kong [2].
