Sygnum Select Launches with Live Mandates, Targeting $100bn+ in Unmanaged Crypto Treasury Assets

  • Global digital asset bank sees strong demand from crypto foundations, institutional investors, and wealthy private individuals seeking professional treasury management, with first discretionary mandates now live
  • Sygnum Select brings traditional private banking’s discretionary model to digital assets, addressing a gap as global DATCo treasuries exceed $100 billion
  • Offering leverages decades of traditional asset management expertise and crypto-native knowledge for bespoke portfolio management across both asset classes

Sygnum, a global digital asset banking group, today announces Sygnum Select, a discretionary mandate service that applies Swiss private banking’s established portfolio management model to digital assets. Select launches with live client mandates, client assets and active portfolio management.

Sygnum Select’s launch comes as global corporate and public Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATCos) now hold more than $100 billion in crypto assets, creating strong demand for regulated, institutional-grade management. As crypto assets mature into a mainstream allocation and regulatory clarity improves globally, the institutions holding them are faced with the challenge of how to manage these growing treasuries with the same rigour and professionalism as other areas of traditional finance. A similar need is shared by crypto foundations (entities responsible for stewarding protocol treasuries, often worth hundreds of millions) who seek to leverage professional oversight and expertise rather than to manage internally ad hoc

“As digital assets mature and institutional adoption accelerates, we’re seeing a clear shift in what clients need,” says Fabian Dori, Sygnum Chief Investment Officer. “Crypto foundations and corporate treasuries are no longer simply looking for custody and trading. They want a trusted, regulated counterparty who can actively manage their assets with the same discipline and holistic approach as a traditional private bank. That is the value that Sygnum Select delivers.”

With Sygnum Select, the bank takes full execution authority within a client’s agreed investment framework, developing and implementing customised strategic asset allocations, active rebalancing and continuous risk oversight – including VaR monitoring and drawdown limits. The investment universe is broad, and spans crypto assets and staking, tokenized instruments, market-neutral yield strategies, derivatives and hedging overlays, traditional securities as well as private market investments. Risk guardrails are tailored per client, including volatility targets, leverage restrictions, concentration limits, liquidity requirements and rules on stablecoin exposure.

The service allows crypto foundations to focus on their core mission, leaving Sygnum to optimise their treasuries. For institutional investors entering digital assets, the discretionary mandate offers a familiar model extended into a new asset class by a counterparty that understands both worlds.

Sygnum Select is initially available to Swiss-domiciled clients, with plans to expand to additional jurisdictions based on demand.

“Sygnum is a digital asset-first Swiss regulated bank with both crypto and traditional assets fully integrated into its banking platform” adds Markus Haemmerli, Sygnum Head of Portfolio Management. “Our ability to holistically construct portfolios across asset classes is one of our core strengths. Sygnum Select fills an important market gap, as clients can now access bespoke portfolio management that combines what traditional asset managers or crypto-native firms can offer.”
