Sygnum Reveals Push Towards Holistic Crypto-TradFi Treasury Management

  • Accelerating push towards holistic Crypto-TradFi treasury management due to macro environment and US regulatory and market reforms
  • 400% average annual growth in traditional securities trading volume at Sygnum since 2020, plus doubled number of clients trading the asset class compared to 2023
  • Advantages over other solutions include Sygnum’s crypto-native expertise, and the ability to match treasury investments to fund usages and time horizons, balance crypto and traditional yields and equalise credit and equity risks
  • Available through Sygnum relationship managers, trading desk and client portal, as well as the Sygnum Select advanced managed account service

Zurich, April 29, 2025, 8:00 AM CET — Sygnum, a global digital asset banking group, reveals an accelerating push towards sophisticated, holistic Crypto-TradFi treasury management by its DLT foundation and corporate clients. The demand for advanced tools to manage multi-asset treasuries – on the same banking platform – has led to a doubling of clients trading traditional securities since 2023, and 400% average annual growth in trading volumes since 2020. This push towards more sophisticated, holistic Treasury Management has been accelerated by the uncertain macro-environment, US regulatory and market reforms and the need for more agile risk management.

In 2020, due to a lack of available options, most DLT foundations limited investments in traditional securities to simple instruments such as short-dated US T-Bills. Today at Sygnum, a much wider range of low-risk, yield-generating traditional assets — including equities, global ETFs, fixed income and private market investments – are being combined with crypto spot, derivatives and yield solutions to exponentially broaden the menu of available investment strategies.

Sygnum’s ability to manage sophisticated Crypto-TradFi treasuries “under one roof” creates significant advantages for DLT foundations compared to other solutions. In addition to being crypto-native, Sygnum’s benefits include experience matching treasury investments to different fund usages and associated time horizons – for example, financing of ongoing operations, research and protocol development funding as well as long-term investments – as well as balancing crypto and traditional yields, and equalising credit and equity risks.

Sygnum’s DLT foundation, corporate and professional clients can conveniently access a broad selection of traditional securities via their relationship managers, Sygnum’s trading desk and independently via the bank’s client portal. They can also access the bank’s crypto-native investment expertise through Sygnum Select, an advanced managed account service that dynamically manages investment horizons and risk appetite. Service benefits include treasury customisation, ongoing flexibility and diversification into a broad investment universe.

“As crypto foundations and other key players in the digital asset ecosystem continue to develop their finance functions, treasury management has become a strategic priority,” says Nestor Palao, Sygnum’s Head of DLT and Corporate Clients. “Our clients are increasingly looking for ways to manage treasury risk holistically, diversify portfolios, and generate returns on idle capital – all while maintaining the flexibility to quickly rebalance as market conditions evolve.”

“Managing treasury assets of crypto companies and foundations effectively requires an integrated approach across both digital and traditional assets,” says Fabian Dori, Sygnum’s Chief Investment Officer. “We believe that every multi-asset-class investment strategy should be uniquely tailored to select the optimal balance of risk appetite, return goals, liquidity needs and flexibility. Our Sygnum Select service aims at ensuring that investors can always retain their competitive edge in dynamic market conditions – like the ones we are experiencing right now.”
