Bridging the gap between banking and crypto

Last year, SEBA, along with Sygnum, became the first crypto bank to receive a banking license from the Swiss financial regulator.

The bank is offering a number of crypto-specific services and also tied with Julius Baer, offering its clients crypto investment and custody services.

“Switzerland has been at the forefront of digital asset development – SEBA is globally one of the first banks with a focus on digital assets, which received a banking and securities dealer license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). We believe that such partnerships are the kind of careful, detailed groundwork that will lay the foundations for a robust Digital Asset Economy in the years to come,” Mason Borda, CEO of Tokensoft, said.
