Switzerland's #Sygnum #Bank is launching #custody and trading across a range of decentralized finance ( #DeFi) tokens , including #Aave, #Aragon, #Curve, #Maker, #Synthetix, #Uniswap and #1inch . Adding banking services for #USDC, Sygnum plans to expand with a range of return-generating products for its clients that include banks, hedge funds, asset managers and family offices.
“This is the next step in our journey to enable a variety of yield-producing products in the digital asset space,” Thomas Eichenberger, head of business units at Sygnum Bank, said in a recent interview. Eichenberger added:
“These can either be based on the proof-of-stake protocol, i.e. staking , or leverage decentralized credits to generate returns for our clients who are slightly beyond the roadmap.”
Banks and institutions are currently trying to figure out how to interact with $60 billion of decentralized lending and DeFi, which predominantly trades around Ethereum. Sygnum; BBVA is working with Swiss custody technology firm METACO, which provides digital asset protection to banks such as Standard Chartered and GazpromBank Switzerland.
