CRYPTO FINANCE AND SWISSQUOTE – NEW SQX PARTNERSHIP
Zurich, Switzerland, February 1, 2023 – Crypto Finance AG, a leading provider of institutional-grade investment solutions, custody, and brokerage for digital assets, and part of Deutsche Börse Group, has joined Swissquote’s new centralised trading platform, SQX.
Crypto Finance Group is the trusted, and prudentially supervised partner of financial institutions. Its market-leading, integrated platform enables access to invest in, manage, trade, and store digital assets securely.
Initially, this partnership will allow Crypto Finance Group to provide liquidity in a variety of digital assets, including Tezos (XTZ), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ether (ETH).
Jakob Pedersen, Head of Partnerships at Crypto Finance Group, states: “2022 was challenging year for digital assets. We saw several established firms fail, contributing to an erosion of the ecosystem’s credibility. However, we are optimistic and excited about how the underlying technology will continue to drive advancements in the ownership, transfer, and storage of digital assets. We are also keenly aware the industry needs more regulated, trusted, and professional service providers. That is why we are excited to partner with Swissquote, further solidifying Switzerland’s position as a global leader in the digital asset space.”
Jan De Schepper, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Swissquote, comments: “Always at the forefront of innovation and as a pioneer in digital assets, we launched SQX, our own crypto exchange, a few months ago. SQX makes for a significantly enhanced customer experience in the areas of trading, execution, and liquidity. We are excited about the partnership with Crypto Finance AG as a new liquidity provider and we are confident that we are offering our clients even better liquidity conditions on SQX.”
