L'adozione di Bitcoin e di altre risorse digitali basate su blockchain in Svizzera sta aumentando rapidamente e alcuni dei più grandi nomi del settore bancario si sono fatti avanti per annunciare che salteranno sul carro delle criptovalute. È interessante notare che, secondo un annuncio della banca svizzera PostFinance, ha quasi completato i preparativi per consentire ai suoi clienti di scambiare e conservare criptovalute. 

PostFinance is the financial services unit of Swiss Post, which was founded in 1906. As of 2023, it is the fifth largest retail financial institution in the region. Additionally, the state-owned bank announced that it will be providing its services to the customers in partnership with local cryptocurrency bank Sygnum, which claims to be the world’s first digital asset bank. 

Come per il 5 aprile annuncio, the state-owned retail bank will offer its customers a range of regulated digital asset banking services via Sygnum’s B2B banking platform.  

“Our all-in-one B2B banking platform enables our fifteen-plus B2B partner banks to expand their range of regulated digital asset services at scale and speed. We are pleased to empower PostFinance to deliver institutional-grade digital asset services to their customers. We are committed to continuously driving further innovation and positive change for the industry and our partner banks’ customers, said Chief B2B Officer at Sygnum Bank, Fritz Jost.

D'altro canto, la partnership di PostFinance con Sygnum è finalizzata all'espansione di prodotti e servizi di digital asset regolamentati e di livello bancario per i propri clienti, consentendo loro di poter acquistare, conservare e vendere criptovalute leader come Bitcoin (BTC) e Etere (ETH). 

The announcement added that Sygnum’s B2B offering “empowers partner banks with a fast, cost-efficient market entry with innovative, regulated, and compliant products.” With the help of the digital asset bank, PostFinance plans to integrate its new crypto offering with its existing banking infrastructure.

È interessante notare che la banca al dettaglio ha anche in programma di introdurre nuovi servizi che generano entrate su base continuativa, come lo staking. È importante ricordare qui che la Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) degli Stati Uniti ha un approccio diverso quando si tratta di staking. L'agenzia di regolamentazione ritiene che i servizi di picchettamento possano essere classificati come titoli e ha citato in giudizio l'exchange di criptovalute Kraken, che pagato una multa di $30 milioni. 

Anche lo scambio leader negli Stati Uniti, Coinbase ricevuto un avviso Wells dalla SEC, in which the regulator said that Coinbase’s staking products are unregistered securities and also highlighted “aspects of Coinbase’s exchange… and Coinbase Wallet.”

It is crucial to note here that PostFinance believes that Sygnum is one of the few firms around the globe with the capability of providing “a secure bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.”

“Digital assets have become an integral part of the financial world, and our customers want access to this market at PostFinance, their trusted principal bank. A reputable and established partner like Sygnum Bank with an excellent service offering is more important than ever,” said Philipp Merkt, Chief Investment Officer of PostFinance.
