In this new partnership deal, SEBA Bank will play the role of broker as well as custodian. The custody solution is fully regulated and will let customers store their digital assets using the same rules normally used for traditional assets, including documentation for tax returns. Moreover, customers wonโt have to keep track of their crypto wallet keys or even passwords, as the crypto assets will be stored directly and easily accessed in the bankโs internal system.
Ambitious Plans to Expand Further into the Crypto World
LGT Bankโs CEO, Roland Matt, explained: โWhen developing our new offering, we paid particular attention to security while focusing on clear, reliable processes and procedures. They are fundamental when dealing with this dynamic and still quite young asset class.โย
The responsibility to meet their clientโs demands in opportunities as well as security is not bound to just Liechtenstein or Switzerland. In the near future, LGT Bank in partnership with SEBA Bank will broaden the territory of their services, but havenโt disclosed where exactly yet.
BTC Could Double by the End of 2022, According to Experts
The Swiss part of the team, SEBA Bank, already offers services in most of the top 20 cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin (LTC), Tether (USDT), and Polkadot (DOT). Their partners in Liechtenstein have plans to integrate altcoins with the help of SEBAโs expertise, which seems to be trustworthy. SEBA bank has its own native token, the SEBA Gold Token, which is backed by real Swiss gold.
Interestingly, SEBA also offers a digital Gold Token, backed by physical gold. This enables the “Digital Ownership of Physical #Gold“.

In addition, SEBA specialists paint a very bright future for Bitcoin (BTC). Research conducted at the beginning of the year drew a conclusion that BTC will at least hit the mark of $50,000, but could possibly go up to $75,000 by the end of 2022. Certainly, it looks like partnership deals like the one between Liechtensteinโs LGT and Switzerlandโs SEBA banks only confirm thereโs a lot of truth to this prediction.
