AMINA Bank Offers Benefits for Stablecoin Users
Swiss-based AMINA Bank (formerly known as SEBA Bank) has eliminated custody fees for holders of USD Coin (USDC) in an effort to attract more stablecoin users. This initiative includes free custody services for both hot and cold wallets and offers quarterly rewards along with asset protection, as stated in the bank’s press release.
Expanding the Offering to EURC
In addition to removing USDC fees, AMINA Bank plans to include EURC, Circle’s euro-backed stablecoin, in its program in the near future.
Clients holding USDC will receive quarterly rewards, directly paid by the bank.This offering comes with no additional costs, making stablecoins more appealing to users.
Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank, emphasized the bank’s commitment to supporting the crypto industry:
“As one of the first regulated banks to offer free USDC custody with rewards for holdings in both hot and cold wallets, AMINA Bank solidifies its commitment to fostering stablecoin growth and adoption.”
Stablecoins Gaining Momentum
Experts believe that 2025 will be a pivotal year for stablecoins. Their use is expected to shift from trading to real-world applications, such as instant payments.
In a post on January 1 on the X platform (formerly Twitter), Haseeb Qureshi, Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital, predicted significant growth for stablecoins.
Regulatory Clarity: Qureshi suggested that the US could introduce bank-issued stablecoins by the end of the year, thanks to clearer regulations.Dominance of Established Players: He also expects that current issuers like Tether will maintain their market dominance, particularly with the support of key figures like Howard Lutnick, a potential Secretary of Commerce.
Conclusion
With this move, AMINA Bank positions itself as a pioneer in stablecoin support, potentially inspiring other financial institutions to follow suit. This initiative highlights the growing importance of stablecoins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and their potential to become a mainstream component of the financial world.

Swiss crypto-focused bank Sygnum has raised $58 million in a strategic growth round, achieving unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion.

Success Backed by Investors
In an announcement on January 14, the bank revealed that the funding round was oversubscribed, with the lead investor being Fulgur Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on Bitcoin. Other participants included new and existing investors, along with members of the Sygnum team.
Mathias Imbach, Sygnum’s CEO, stated that achieving unicorn status is a strong validation of their business model and strategy.
“This success fills us with pride, but our core values of integrity, humility, and balanced confidence remain unchanged,” added Imbach.
Plans for Expansion and Service Development
Sygnum plans to use the funds for:
Expanding its presence in the EU/EAA regions and Hong KongEnhancing Bitcoin servicesBroadening its product offerings
Founded in 2018, the bank reported significant growth in 2024. Trading volumes for products such as crypto spot and derivatives exceeded the total volume of 2023 in the third quarter alone, with annual trading activity increasing by over 1,000%.
Sygnum’s Outlook on the Crypto Market
In December 2024, Sygnum published a report emphasizing that many major institutions have yet to enter the crypto ecosystem. According to the bank, this creates significant opportunities for further value appreciation in digital assets.
Sygnum also noted that during the next bull run, altcoins may not perform as strongly as Bitcoin, primarily due to the increasing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Sygnum Strengthens Its Position in the Crypto Industry
With this milestone, Sygnum solidifies its position as one of the leading players in the digital asset market. Its combination of growing trading volumes and strategic expansion sets it up as a key leader in crypto banking.
