SBI Digital Asset Holdings is a fully owned subsidiary of Japanese banking giant SBI Holdings. Today, SBI announced a new partnership with SIX, the Swiss-based digital exchange. The joint venture will be set up in Singapore via a crypto issuance company and has a goal to become a regional liquidity hub for institutions. The CEO of the company Yoshitaka Kitao said:
“This is an important step in building the necessary global infrastructure for widespread institutional adoption of digital assets. Together with SDX‘s strength in Switzerland and our planned digital exchange in Osaka, this venture will establish a powerful institutional corridor between Europe and Asia.”
The partnership between SIX and SBI banks happened on the growing crypto demands in the Asia-Pacific region and will cater services to regulated institutions. The venture is expected to formalize the operations by the end of 2021 and to offer the services by early 2022 after the regulatory clearance from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The new joint venture will offer a range of digital asset products and services in the form of tokenized securities like bonds, digital equities, and digital securitized loans.
SDX Chairman called SBI a natural partner for the joint venture because of the expertise in the institutional digital asset market and the Asian dominance. Singapore grew to become the global crypto hub over the past few years and most crypto exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Huobi, and FTX found their home in the country amid the regulatory uncertainty around the globe.
