Sygnum targets corporate crypto treasuries worth over $100B 🚀

Swiss crypto bank Sygnum has launched Sygnum Select — a professional crypto treasury management service for companies and large organizations that hold part of their reserves in digital assets. Their bet is a segment with over $100B in crypto assets sitting in such treasuries, where many already lack in-house expertise, risk policies, and a proper operating process.

In practice it looks like this: you have crypto reserves, and then the hard questions start — the kind that a single finance team can’t easily cover. When to rebalance the portfolio, what share to keep in BTC/ETH, whether to put part of the assets to work via staking or neutral strategies, how to limit drawdowns, where to set limits for stablecoins, how to avoid turning decisions into chaotic reactions to the market.

Sygnum Select operates as a discretionary mandate: the bank gets the right to execute trades within a client’s pre-agreed investment framework. In other words, the client sets the boundaries, while the bank’s team takes over day-to-day management and execution. The focus is on strategic allocation, active rebalancing, and continuous risk control, including VaR monitoring and drawdown limits.

A key point — this is not only about custody and trading. Sygnum frames market demand as a shift from basic needs in custody and order execution to asset management with banking-grade discipline: rules, limits, and accountability.

The toolkit is positioned as broad: beyond spot positions, they may use staking, tokenized instruments, market-neutral yield strategies, derivatives and hedge overlays, as well as traditional securities and private investments — depending on what the mandate allows. In parallel, client-specific safeguards are set up: volatility targets, leverage constraints, concentration limits, liquidity requirements, and rules for stablecoin exposure.

One telling detail — they are not starting from zero: since launch, the bank has already been actively managing roughly $200M. It’s a signal that some players are ready to delegate crypto reserves the same way they delegate traditional portfolios — when process, rules, and execution control matter more than emotions.

For now, the service is available to clients based in Switzerland, with plans to expand geographically depending on demand.

If you look at this from a business angle, the conclusion is straightforward: a corporate crypto treasury is no longer a story of buying an asset and forgetting about it. As amounts grow, the process becomes decisive — who makes decisions, how limits are set, what happens during a drawdown, how execution is verified, and how the team behaves when the market moves against the position.
