On February 26, Swiss digital asset banking group Sygnum announced the official launch of its institutional-grade crypto asset management service, “Sygnum Select,” targeting the enterprise digital asset funds management (DAT) market, which has exceeded $100 billion in scale. This service employs a full discretionary management model, integrating Switzerland’s mature private banking investment portfolio management system into the crypto asset space, marking a move toward higher specialization in digital asset management.
According to reports, Sygnum Select launched with actual client mandates and approximately $200 million in actively managed assets, demonstrating that institutional demand for compliant digital asset management solutions is expanding. Currently, digital asset fund management firms serving enterprises and public institutions hold a total of over $100 billion in crypto assets. Listed companies alone hold more than 1.13 million Bitcoin, private companies hold about 287,000 Bitcoin, with a total market value approaching $100 billion.
Sygnum’s Chief Investment Officer Fabian Dori stated that as digital assets mature, the needs of corporate finance departments and crypto foundations have shifted from simple custody and trading to institutional-level asset allocation, risk management, and active portfolio management. He noted that clients increasingly prefer comprehensive investment management services similar to those offered by traditional private banks, rather than just execution support.
Sygnum Select will implement strategic asset allocation, dynamic rebalancing, and risk monitoring within clients’ established investment frameworks. The portfolio includes spot holdings, staking yields, derivatives hedging, market-neutral strategies, and tokenized securities, with the flexibility to incorporate traditional assets for diversified allocation. Markus Haemmerli, Head of Portfolio Management, said that this solution combines traditional asset management expertise with the advantages of native crypto strategies, providing customized digital asset allocation solutions for enterprise clients.
It is important to note that not all enterprise digital asset treasury models have succeeded; some companies have experienced stock price pressure due to market volatility and strategic adjustments. In this context, regulated, bank-qualified institutional digital asset management services are gaining increased market attention. Currently, this service is only available to Swiss clients, with plans to expand to more regions in the future.
As enterprise Bitcoin allocations continue to grow, compliant digital asset fund management, enterprise-level crypto portfolio management, and institutional crypto asset management services are becoming key development directions in the digital financial sector by 2026.
