Swiss digital asset banking group Sygnum is accelerating its expansion across Europe after securing a Markets in Crypto-Assets (Micar) licence for its Liechtenstein-based subsidiary. The authorisation gives the firm direct access to clients throughout the European Union and European Economic Area, marking a significant milestone in its international growth strategy.

The licence comes as the EU’s Micar transition period comes to an end, allowing Sygnum Europe to operate under the bloc’s harmonised crypto regulatory framework. Leveraging its banking infrastructure in Switzerland, Singapore and the Middle East, the company aims to expand its reach among high-net-worth individuals, institutional investors and financial institutions across Europe.
