Sygnum’s strategic agenda involves utilizing the freshly acquired capital to propel its expansion into new markets while further enhancing its regulated product offerings, such as bank-to-bank digital asset services. Goh disclosed to The Block that the company plans to venture into a European market and another in the Asia-Pacific region, albeit refrained from divulging specifics due to regulatory constraints.
Notably, in its previous series B funding round concluded in January 2022, Sygnum amassed $90 million with the participation of prominent Asia-based investors, including Sun Hung Kai & Co., Animoca Brands, and SBI Holdings.
Operating from Switzerland and Singapore, Sygnum Bank has also obtained operational licenses in Abu Dhabi and Luxembourg, as outlined in its statement. The company further disclosed that it currently manages assets exceeding $4 billion from a clientele spanning over 1,700 clients across 60 countries.
