Zuger Kantonalbank is expanding its cryptocurrency offerings with Cardano (ADA) and Avalanche (AVAX), responding to increasing customer demand and the evolving regulatory landscape in the U.S. and Europe.

As the first Swiss cantonal bank to provide regulated crypto services since 2023, Zuger Kantonalbank currently supports a range of digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other tokens. These assets can be seamlessly integrated into customers' traditional banking experience through the bank's e-banking platform and mobile app.

The expansion of digital assets is being driven by the rising demand for diverse token options, which has been furthered by the establishment of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the EU's MiCA regulation. This has set the stage for substantial growth in the sector.

Zuger Kantonalbank is dedicated to providing comprehensive crypto solutions and ensuring the optimal protection of client assets. In this regard, the bank relies on Sygnum's cutting-edge institutional-grade custody platform, renowned for its multi-layer security, encompassing both software and hardware controls.

The platform is also backed by a robust governance framework and undergoes regular external audits, effectively minimizing counterparty risk and maximizing client protection.

“The addition of Cardano and Avalanche to our expanding cryptocurrency offering empowers clients to conveniently develop their crypto portfolios with their principal bank,” said Jan Damrau, Head of Corporate Management and Member of the Zuger Kantonalbank Executive Board.

“Digital assets are approaching a global inflection point, and we are committed to staying ahead of the curve.”

Fritz Jost, Chief B2B Officer at Sygnum Bank, highlighted the growing demand for diverse token options. He noted that Zuger Kantonalbank's recent actions demonstrate an interest in complementary assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

"We are dedicated to supporting financial institutions in building and expanding regulated crypto asset services—easily accessible by customers and operating under the institution's own brand—while ensuring top-tier security," Jost added.

Recently, Sygnum partnered with Deribit to enhance its off-exchange custody platform, Sygnum Protect, aiming to improve asset security for institutional traders while ensuring access to Deribit's trading options and liquidity.
