Swiss exchange SIX receives FINMA approval to offer cryptocurrency custody services.

CoinFeed reported on May 5th that, according to Crowdfundinsider, SIX, a Swiss exchange and financial market infrastructure provider, announced it has received approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) to officially offer cryptocurrency custody services. Under the plan, SIX will integrate its previously independently operated digital central securities depository into its core subsidiary, SIX SIS AG, unifying traditional securities and digital asset infrastructure. This integration means that financial institutions can manage stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrency assets simultaneously under the same regulatory framework, improving operational efficiency and legal certainty, and avoiding the complexity of switching between multiple systems. SIX stated that this move will create a unified entry point connecting traditional finance and the digital economy, and support integrated post-trading services across asset classes.
