Cantor Fitzgerald is working closely with AMINA Bank, a Swiss digital asset lender, as the bank explores the possibility of going public. The Swiss crypto-focused bank, previously known as SEBA Bank, is in early talks about entering public markets but has yet to reveal its targeted valuation, timeline, or the stock exchange it might choose.
AMINA Bank operates under a license from FINMA, Switzerland’s financial regulator, and offers services such as crypto custody, trading, lending, and staking for both private and institutional clients. The bank posted a remarkable 69% jump in revenue during 2024, marking it as Switzerland’s fastest-growing crypto bank for that year. Updated financial results for 2025 or 2026 haven't been disclosed.
Taking AMINA public would make it one of the rare banks primarily focused on digital assets to be publicly traded, giving investors access to a regulated crypto banking model. This is different from investing in crypto exchanges, miners, or treasury entities, as it would require AMINA to comply with increased transparency and governance standards typical of public companies.
Meanwhile, Cantor Fitzgerald is expanding its role in the crypto capital markets ecosystem. The firm recently partnered with Securitize to help companies conduct blockchain-based IPOs and follow-on offerings, integrating traditional equity capital markets with blockchain technology. This partnership, announced in mid-July, aims to tokenize securities at issuance while staying compliant with existing regulatory frameworks, rather than just digitizing already listed shares.
Although Cantor’s advisory for AMINA aligns with this growing strategy to merge blockchain infrastructure with traditional finance, there’s no public indication that AMINA plans to use Securitize’s platform for its potential listing.
AMINA Bank’s regulatory footing extends beyond Switzerland, with approvals across Europe positioning it well for broader market engagement. Cantor is also reportedly exploring a separate deal involving a substantial Bitcoin holding from Blockstream, signaling the firm’s deepening involvement in crypto asset markets.
