Bybit + Sygnum = Institutional crypto custody

-

Bybit, that fast-moving crypto exchange you’ve probably heard about, just made a power move.

They’ve partnered with the Swiss Sygnum Bank to bring a whole new level of security to institutional crypto investors.

This is a full-on alliance fusing Swiss-regulated off-exchange asset protection with Bybit’s slick trading platform.

Legal safeguards

Institutions can now stash their crypto assets safely off-balance sheet with Sygnum’s Protect platform.

But hold on, they don’t lose any trading mojo, they keep buying and selling spot and derivatives on Bybit like usual.

The magic? Asset balances get mirrored in real time, and best of all, profits and losses settle automatically every eight hours. Smooth.

This move is a power play that puts Bybit in the league of secure trading hubs for the big fish.

It blends Bybit’s deep liquidity with Switzerland’s rock-solid governance and legal safeguards. The kind of fortress you want when markets get bumpy and nerves fray.

Swiss law

And here’s where it gets serious. Sygnum Protect is no rookie. It’s the largest bank-run off-exchange custody system, already covering platforms handling over half of the world’s crypto spot and derivatives volume.

Bybit joins Binance and Deribit in this exclusive club. This custody setup is layered like an onion, with hardware and software security, independent audits, and a legal shield that makes assets bankruptcy-remote under Swiss law.

Institutions worried about counterparty risks? This is your dream ticket.

Bybit wasn’t shy before, they work with custody firms like Fireblocks, Copper, and Cactus. But bringing in Sygnum raises the stakes, adding customizable layers of protection with full Swiss banking-grade trust.

Yoyee Wang, Bybit’s B2B boss, nailed it, risk management is a beast to tame in crypto adoption.

This partnership is about letting clients tap Bybit’s liquidity while putting their funds under the tightest Swiss lock and key.

Regulated custody solutions

Sygnum’s top product guy, Dominic Lohberger, confirms the demand’s clearly booming.

Sygnum Protect is growing fast because players in the space crave bank-grade custody solutions.

Welcoming Bybit into this ecosystem is like upgrading from a street corner café to the finest steakhouse.

Looking ahead, Sygnum promises automated collateral transfers across exchanges, so institutions can juggle capital more efficiently, no juggling pins dropped.

For Bybit, this partnership is another stride toward transparency and security, the kind big institutional investors drool over.

As regulated custody solutions become the hot ticket, Bybit’s making sure it’s front and center next to the big boys.
