📣 News: Sygnum enables staked SOL as collateral as Lombard Loan Volume Doubles
▪️ Sygnum adds staked Solana (SOL) to its growing portfolio of over 20 tokens eligible as collateral for Lombard loans, allowing clients to maintain staking rewards while accessing fiat liquidity
▪️ Triple-digit growth sees Sygnum’s loan volume double over the past 12 months, reflecting strong institutional demand for crypto-backed credit facilities
▪️ SOL staking service enables clients to earn passive income through Sygnum’s institutional-grade custody platform with full on-chain asset segregation
▪️ Follows Sygnum’s landmark USD 50 million Bitcoin-backed syndicated loan to Ledn in August 2024
“By enabling staked Solana as collateral, we’re addressing a key client need to optimise yield while maintaining liquidity,” said Benedikt Koedel, Head of Credit & Lending at Sygnum Bank. “This enhancement builds on our proven track record in crypto-backed lending, recently demonstrated by our USD 50 million Bitcoin-backed syndicated loan to Ledn (@hodlwithLedn) last August.”

@FlorianSchwab writes:
“Asked by finews.com about future growth plans, Co-founder and Group CEO Imbach stresses the importance of scaling its business model while accepting that the future has heritage:
«Further expanding our regulated footprint into new markets, as well as leveraging our digital asset investment solutions as institutional adoption continues to ramp up globally, are key drivers for our next phase. At the same time, we will continue to invest significantly in our operational resilience, including compliance and risk. The depth of our institutional crypto offering sets us apart from global competitors.»”

📣 Sygnum's Crypto Market Outlook 2025: Charting the escalating demand for Bitcoin in 2025 sygnum.com/research/research…
Read about these topics in our Crypto Market Outlook 2025 from the Sygnum investment research team:
➡️ Bull market likely to continue into 2025
➡️ Watershed year ahead
➡️ Risks
➡️ Alt season may disappoint
➡️ Winners and losers
Report author Katalin Tischhauser, Sygnum Bank Head of Investment Research, says: “Regularity clarity with the potential legislative moves in the US will be transformative for the crypto industry, while the treatment of Bitcoin as a central bank reserve asset would catalyse unprecedented demand. Tailor-made regulation that fits disclosure requirements to the nature of the asset class would be particularly powerful.”

Fabian Dori, Sygnum Deputy Group CEO & Chief Asset Management Officer, comments on Bitcoin's price reaching its significant milestone today:
"The #Bitcoin price recently broke the USD 100,000 threshold, bringing its market capitalisation to approximately USD 2 trillion, a significant milestone for such a young asset," says Fabian.
"The fact that if the value drivers continue to develop as they do right now, the price of USD 100,000 is probably the price at which the next chapter of institutional adoption is opened, and it's not the price at which the story will end."

📰 Sygnum's Chief Product Officer, Thomas Eichenberger, talks about our recent launch of Sygnum Connect, a 24/7 multi-asset instant settlement network, in Bloomberg (@business) with Sidhartha Shukla (@sidcoins) bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"The liquidity gap in the #crypto market “has still not been closed to the extent that professional market participants would’ve wished for,” Sygnum Bank’s Chief Product Officer Thomas Eichenberger said in an interview, adding that Sygnum’s service mostly targets clients in Europe and Asia," Sidhartha Shukla writes.
"Sygnum’s Eichenberger said the recent approval of Circle’s popular USDC as a MiCA compliant stablecoin is “a big step." Sygnum Connect enables users to mint and redeem #stablecoins instantly and eliminates counterparty and settlement risk between network members."
