As specified in the release, by joining the SDX's central securities depository, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg will get the ability to trade various digital securities types on the blockchain-based platform, including digital bonds and digital equities. 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."
Switzerland is spearheading crypto adoption as it expands its friendly regulatory environment. In April, PostBank — a retail bank wholly owned by the Swiss government — partnered with the digital asset bank Sygnum to offer its customers a range of regulated digital asset banking services. In May, Swiss Post issued a new crypto stamp iteration featuring physical and nonfungible token versions integrated with artificial intelligence technology.
