Swiss State Bank Adds New Crypto Services

While Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a period of stagnation, PostFinance, a bank wholly owned by the Swiss government, has provided some positive news for 5 altcoins.

PostFinance, one of the largest financial institutions in Switzerland, has announced that it now offers trading and custody services for these cryptocurrencies – Avalanche, Cardano, Polkadot, XRP и Solana.

Fun Fact: when I was at Ethereum, Postfinance was actually one of our first banking partners. They were always nice and easy to work with. https://t.co/w9jCTXDeeH

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson reacted positively to ADA’s inclusion in PostFinance, sharing on his X profile about his long-standing relationship with the bank.

“Fun fact: While we were in Ethereum, PostFinance was actually one of our first banking partners. They have always been nice and easy to work with”, Hoskinson said.

In response, the PostFinance team commented: “Hello, it’s always nice to see old friends! We are happy that Cardano is now part of our crypto offering”.

In April 2023, PostFinance partnered with Sygnum Bank to expand its cryptocurrency services.

This collaboration enables PostFinance customers to buy, store and sell cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through Sygnum’s B2B banking platform.
