“SEBA wants to bridge the gap between traditional banking and the new world of crypto. With safety, transparency, and performance as core values, our ambition is to become a market leader in the convergence of traditional finance with the crypto economy,” Buehler said.

SEBA will get a license from FINMA, a Swiss financial market supervisor. Further, FINMA has already confirmed that it is in talks with SEBA regarding the acquisition of the license.

There were more than 500 blockchain and cryptocurrency neophyte firms which have settled around Zug and Zurich. However, upon the expansion of the industry, it faced challenges regarding its integration into the traditional financial hub of the country.

Further, these cryptocurrency groups have faced difficulties to gain accessibility to banking services.

“In Switzerland, we have a commitment from various authorities to establish a comprehensive regulatory environment for the development of blockchain technology and the sustainable, stable growth of crypto assets. This makes Switzerland the ideal place to launch a new financial services paradigm,” Amschwand said.

Swiss-based BlackRiver Asset Management and Hong Kong-based Summer Capital were included by investors. SEBA envisions launching branch locations in major financial hubs starting with Zurich next year as well as digital services.
