Syz Bank, a Swiss private bank that reports over $28 billion in assets under management, has partnered with Taurus, a global digital asset infrastructure provider.
The move by Syz is emblematic of the need for financial services firms to embrace digital assets, as customers demand access to crypto and tokenized offerings.
Syz Group, founded in 10996, is a family-owned and operated Swiss banking group focused on wealth management. Syz Capital provides clients access to a wide range of alternative asset classes, including private equity, hedge funds, or legal assets, and the possibility to invest alongside the founding family.
Syz launched SyzCrest in 2023, a fund of crypto hedge funds backed by Syz. The fund reportedly delivered a strong gross performance of 19.9% in its first full calendar year, 2024. BTC Alpha Fund was launched in 2025 as a Bitcoin-denominated fund of crypto hedge funds.
The company also has a history of investing in companies that it offers to its clients.
Syz says it is deepening its cooperation with Taurus across custody, tokenization, and blockchain connectivity. This is expected to offer clients an extended range of services, including additional digital asset protocols and investment opportunities within a secure, regulated, and future-ready environment.
In addition, Syz Bank is joining Taurus-NETWORK, an institutional interbank settlement and collateral system for digital assets that connects banks, issuers, and trading venues.
Nicolas Syz, Head of Wealth Management, said the partnership will add cutting-edge infrastructure to the gbank.
Sébastien Dessimoz, co-founder and Managing Partner at Taurus, called the partnership a significant milestone for both firms.
