<p>Switzerland-based <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/hashkey-capital-ftse-russell-crypto-indices/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> banking group Sygnum has successfully closed a funding round, raising $40 million and achieving a valuation of $900 million. The company’s CEO, Mathias Imbach, expressed gratitude for the trust shown by investors in the challenging macroeconomic environment and highlighted Sygnum’s commitment to building trust through regulation and good governance.</p>
<p>Investment manager Azimut Holdings led the funding round, and Sygnum plans to utilize the proceeds to expand its services into new markets across Europe and Asia. This achievement comes from a $90 million funding round in January 2022, which valued the firm at $800 million.</p>

<p>Since the conclusion of the last funding round, Sygnum has experienced remarkable growth, with its assets under management (AUM) soaring to $4 billion. The company now serves more than 1,700 clients from over 60 countries, a testament to its growing global footprint.</p>
<p>Gerald Goh, Sygnum’s co-founder and CEO of its Singapore operations, highlighted the evolving crypto landscape, stating that the broader industry is emerging from the “crypto winter.” Investors and market participants increasingly seek partnerships with trusted and well-managed financial institutions like Sygnum.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The latest funding round will enable Sygnum to enhance its suite of fully regulated solutions further, supporting investors as they seek to increase their exposure to the crypto asset class.</p>
