Sygnum Bridges Traditional and Digital Finance with Expansion to Germany and Liechtenstein

Swiss-based digital asset banking group Sygnum has expanded its institutional-grade crypto asset management offerings to Germany and Liechtenstein, marking a pivotal step in its European growth strategy. The move, announced on 2 September 2025, enables institutional and wholesale investors in both markets to access selected parts of Sygnum’s crypto investment solutions, including a non-directional, low-volatility strategy. This strategic expansion follows Sygnum’s successful registration in Liechtenstein in September 2024, which laid the groundwork for broader European market access. The company emphasizes that these markets represent significant growth opportunities as institutional investors increasingly integrate digital assets into their diversified portfolios.

Sygnum’s investment strategy focuses on yield generation within the crypto market while managing platform and technology risks. Since inception, the strategy has reportedly delivered double-digit annualized returns, although specific performance figures were not disclosed. The approach is designed to offer investors returns uncorrelated with traditional cryptocurrency price movements, catering to those seeking exposure through regulated channels. Fabian Dori, Sygnum’s Chief Investment Officer, highlighted the rising demand for such strategies, noting that investors are increasingly viewing digital assets as an essential part of their investment portfolios [2].

The expansion is supported by Sygnum’s multi-jurisdictional regulatory footprint. The firm operates under a Swiss banking license and holds regulatory permissions in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, and Luxembourg. In the EU, Sygnum Europe AG will manage distribution through a liability umbrella solution in partnership with Reuss Private Access AG, ensuring compliance across European jurisdictions. Investors in Germany and Liechtenstein can access Sygnum’s solutions through authorized distribution partners, enabling the firm to maintain regulatory compliance while serving a broader client base [4].

This move aligns with Sygnum’s broader vision of bridging traditional finance and the digital asset economy—a model the firm refers to as “Future Finance.” By expanding into Germany and Liechtenstein, Sygnum reinforces its position as a regulated intermediary in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. The expansion also reflects broader trends in the adoption of cryptocurrency investment products by institutional investors across Europe. As regulatory clarity has improved, asset managers have increasingly developed compliant digital asset strategies, and Sygnum’s entry into these markets is in line with that trajectory [3].

Looking ahead, Sygnum has indicated plans to expand into additional European markets, capitalizing on the growing institutional demand for digital asset investment solutions. The firm’s regulatory presence across key financial centers positions it to address investor requirements for compliant exposure to crypto assets. With a focus on security, compliance, and innovation, Sygnum continues to strengthen its role in the global digital asset banking ecosystem [5].
