Swiss Bank & Nasdaq Giant Launch Crypto Fund That’s Less ‘Hocus Pocus’ Than Expected 🚀

by

In a move as surprising as finding a penguin in a teacup, a regulated Swiss crypto bank and a Nasdaq-listed digital asset firm have unleashed a powerhouse fund in Hong Kong, targeting institutional demand with aggressive crypto equity exposure. 🐧💸

A Most Unlikely Partnership: Swiss Bank and Nasdaq Firm Launch Hong Kong Fund 🌍💰

Amina Bank AG, a Swiss crypto bank with the regulatory pedigree of a well-tailored suit, revealed on Aug. 28, 2025, a strategic collaboration with Metalpha Technology Holding Ltd., a Nasdaq-listed firm specializing in digital asset wealth management. The initiative begins with the launch of Principal Fund I, a crypto equity-focused vehicle distributed through Amina’s Hong Kong subsidiary. 🎩💼

“This collaboration, one might say, is the opening act of a grand performance in the theater of digital assets,” Amina explained, elaborating:

This positions Amina, through its Hong Kong subsidiary, Amina (Hong Kong) Limited, to be among the first regulated crypto service providers to offer a comprehensive crypto equity exposure product to qualified professional investors in the Hong Kong market. 🎭

According to Amina Bank, the fund has already outperformed its benchmark by over 20% since August 2024. Michael Benz, Amina’s Head of Asia-Pacific, emphasized the city’s evolving landscape:

Hong Kong has strategically focused on building institutional crypto infrastructure first, and we’re now witnessing the natural evolution toward broader professional investor adoption. 🎩💼

Metalpha’s licensed subsidiary LSQ Capital Ltd. manages the fund under Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Type 9 authorization, with minimum investment set at $1 million. Monique Chan, CEO of LSQ Capital, highlighted the investor base targeted: “In collaboration with Amina Bank, we are supporting global ultra-high-net-worth clients in accessing digital asset opportunities through a more secure, trusted, and regulated approach.” While regulatory disclosures caution on volatility and principal risks, advocates argue such partnerships demonstrate increasing integration of traditional finance with digital assets. Critics often highlight speculative risks, but industry supporters contend regulated products like Principal Fund I enhance investor protection and broaden adoption. 🔒🌍
