Crypto Finance is now Matrixport Entity

In a press statement, the Singapore-based firm mentioned that Crypto Finance has been rebranded to become Matrixport Asset Management AG. This marks a significant step in the company’s global growth efforts. Matriport noted that all necessary regulatory approvals have been secured. 

Before the acquisition, Crypto Finance was part of the Deutsche Börse Group-owned Crypto Finance Group. The firm is known for managing the first crypto fund approved by Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). 

This regulatory endorsement makes the acquisition especially strategic for Matrixport, which aims to strengthen its offerings in compliant crypto asset management. In addition, Matrixport is set to leverage Crypto Finance’s expertise. Above all, the company will greatly benefit from Crypto Finance’s regulatory standing to better serve the growing European crypto market.
