Beginning of next year, Swiss digital bank FlowBank will offer its customers the ability to directly buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies, including other tokenized assets.

According to a press release on Thursday, digital-asset investment firm CoinShares will integrate its crypto technology stack with the Swiss bank after it bought 110,000 shares of Flowbank for $11.8 million. With the strategic investment, Coinshares holds 9.01% of the bank’s enlarged share capital.

FlowBank founder and Chief Executive Officer, Charles-Henri Sabet, said:

“This further reinforces FlowBank’s commitment to go beyond the frontiers of traditional investment by providing its customers easy-to-use and trusted gateways to traditional and decentralized finance.”

Jean-Marie Mognetti, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoinShares commented:

“FlowBank’s and our vision for the banking and investing industries are aligned and will serve as fertile soil for a fruitful partnership

He added:

The business has seen staggering growth figures amidst a booming crypto market. In Q1, the crypto management services company noted a year-on-year 338% surge in profits. In August, the firm even reported a five-fold rise versus the prior year.
