FAQ
Where can asset tokens be bought?
Sygnum clients can buy or transfer asset tokens on the Sygnum e-banking platform via our secondary market, SygnEx.
How will my tokens be secured and held in custody?
Client assets are protected by Sygnum’s multi-layer security architecture, which includes geo-redundant data centers meeting industry-leading security and availability requirements, with critical key material stored in Switzerland. Client assets are always held off-balance sheet and ring-fenced from Sygnum’s assets, providing insurance protection. As a fully regulated and audited Swiss bank, Sygnum ensures full compliance with AML regulations and undergoes an annual ISAE audit covering the Custody Platform.
Can every Sygnum client invest in asset tokens? Does the issuer have any control over who can invest?
Generally, investments in all asset tokens on our platform are available to all Sygnum clients. However, tailored permission solutions that let issuers manage investor participation can be set up.
How can asset tokens be traded?
Asset tokens can be traded on SygnEx, an organized trading facility (‘OTF’) under Article 42(a) of the FinMIA, operated by Sygnum as the OTF Operator. On SygnEx, orders can be placed in the order book or existing orders can be accepted. The OTF permits multilateral trading exclusively and does not allow executing participants’ orders to be matched against the OTF Operator’s own book or that of a company within the same group. Additionally, the OTF Operator is entitled to exercise discretion in relation to instructions on the OTF, and there is no automated matching system in place.
Sygnum’s regulated secondary market platform can be accessed via the Sygnum banking portal by clicking “Trading” under the Tokenized assets section.
What types of tokenization projects does Sygnum work on?
Sygnum offers a diverse range of investment opportunities in the tokenized asset space across three verticals: private markets, traditional securities, and art & collectibles.
What services are available to issuers during the tokenization process?
Sygnum provides a one-stop tokenization solution that covers the entire end-to-end value chain from minting and issuance to settlement and life-cycle management. We assist issuers from the outset by conducting thorough analyses of corporate structures and legal assessments. Our support extends through every stage, including legal implementation, token structuring, smart contract deployment, custody, distribution, and admission to the SygnEx secondary market.
