The round’s main investor, global asset management business Azimut Holding, is joined by several new and returning financial and strategic partners.
In line with previous fundraising rounds, Sygnum staff members took part as personal investors in the strategic growth round on the same terms.
The company’s primary ownership is still held by Sygnumers, the co-founders, board members, and management group.
Furthermore, the money raised from this financing round will be utilised to broaden Sygnum’s reach and quicken the development of its fully regulated products, such its B2B (bank-to-bank) platform, which now drives the cryptocurrency offerings of more than 15 banks and financial institutions worldwide.
