Becoming a major player
Hypothekarbank Lenzburg joins the five existing banks to have joined SDX so far: Berner Kantonalbank, CM-Equity, Credit Suisse, Kaiser Partner Privatbank, SIX SIS, UBS and Zürcher Kantonalbank.
Hypothekarbank Lenzburg has over $7bn in assets and is on a path to become a major player in the Swiss market for tokenised digital assets and bringing native digital securities onto the platform. The bank will hope that joining SDX’s CSD will mark a big milestone on this journey.
With SDX’s infrastructure for various digital securities types, including digital bonds and digital equities, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg gains access to a single, reliable, and trusted DLT-based platform that fulfils the regulatory requirements.
Marianne Wildi, CEO of Hypothekarbank Lenzburg, said: “The SDX membership marks a significant step in advancing our bank’s presence in digital assets. Beyond token issuance and custody, our offering should include the possibility of listing digital value rights on a trusted trading venue. SDX’s ecosystem aligns seamlessly with our goals, and we eagerly anticipate this cooperation.”
