Swiss Crypto Bank AMINA Taps Cantor to Explore Public Listing

Founded in 2018 as SEBA Bank and rebranded as AMINA in 2023, the lender is supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, FINMA. It is one of the few regulated banks focused on digital assets. The company offers cryptocurrency trading, custody, staking, and lending services to institutional and professional investors, and has expanded into Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, and India.

The cryptocurrency industry has embraced public markets over the past year, with listings by companies like CoinDesk owner Circle Internet (CRCL), Bullish (BLSH), Gemini Space Station (GEMI), BitGo (BTGO), and Figure (FIGR) marking the sector’s strongest IPO wave since 2021.

While the deals initially attracted strong investor demand, post-listing performance has been mixed, as weaker cryptocurrency prices, slowing trading activity and a broader risk-averse environment weighed on valuations.

This has led some private companies to delay or reconsider their own public market plans. Several major crypto companies, including Kraken parent Payward, Ethereum app maker Consensys, wallet provider Ledger and asset manager Grayscale, have delayed IPO plans pending improved markets.

As of the end of 2025, AMINA reported 74.6 million francs ($91 million) in Tier 1 capital. It has raised approximately $245 million from investors such as Julius Baer, ​​DeFi Technologies, and BlackRiver Asset Management.
