3. The Crypto Bankers
Seba CEO Guido Buehler
Seba and Sygnum are Switzerland's first licensed crypto banks: while financial regulator Finma took longer than at least Seba had hoped, it reinforced the digital asset sector in August with two licenses simultaneously.
Sygnum Switzerland CEO Manuel Krieger
The first step as a fully-fledged bank is two batches of a limited number of clients, plus a Finma-overseen audit on each – which both have already absolved. Both are ready to open for business: Seba has already flagged its desire to tap another $100 million in financing early this year to expand.
Sygnum Singapore CEO Mathias Imbach
With digital and crypto investments slated to take a bigger share of portfolio management, the three top executives are poised for a breakout year in 2020.
