Innovation presentation

SEBA Bank is at the forefront of innovation in digital assets. SEBA Bank has launched a number of highly innovative digital asset products and services over the past 12 months including: the Gold Token, a regulated digital token for investment in and delivery of physical gold on-demand; a unique platform providing next-generation actively managed investment certificates (AMCs) that allow easier access to digital assets for investors; and integrating access to range of decentralized finance tokens to offer exposure to the burgeoning DeFi economy. This innovation is complemented by a depth of services which provide investors with the necessary support to negotiate their way through the rapidly evolving digital assets industry, this includes in-depth buy side research reports, an educational initiative, SEBAversity, as well as an unparalleled spectrum of structured investment products, including the award winning SEBAX index. SEBA Bank is deeply integrated with stakeholders across the financial, banking and digital assets sector across the globe. SEBA Bank received a landmark CISA license from FINMA in 2021 enabling it to custody digital asset based collective investment schemes such as pension and mutual funds. This is the first license granted in Switzerland by the Swiss Financial Market Authority (FINMA) to a custodian bank focused on digital assets, and opens access for mutual funds to invest in digital assets. To date, the company has raised over CHF 230 million in funding since its inception in 2018 and is now active across 25 markets globally. SEBA Bank’s network of strategic partners in Europe and beyond includes Julius Baer, one of the largest private banks in Switzerland, and the Banque de France, which has conducted Central Bank Digital Currency experiments in partnership with SEBA Bank, as well as LGT Bank, the world’s largest family owned financial institution.
