This will allow traders to hold their assets in a regulated bank while continuing to access the deep liquidity of Deribit, according to an announcement shared with CoinDesk on Wednesday.

Traders received an unwelcome reminder of the dangers in keeping their assets on an exchange last month with the $1.4 billion hack of Bybit by North Korean Group Lazarus.

"Counterparty risk awareness in crypto comes in cycles, and the recent major cyber-attack has triggered one of the largest waves of exchange derisking since FTX," Sygnum's chief product officer, Dominic Lohberger, said.

Zurich-based Sygnum, which acquired a valuation of over $1 billion following a $58 million funding round in January, is licensed in its native Switzerland as well as Luxembourg and Singapore.

Deribit is among the world's leading derivatives exchanges, with trading volume surpassing $1 trillion in 2024. Its options volume alone reached $743 billion.
