The Swiss financial infrastructure provider, SIX, has secured approval from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) to merge its digital central securities depository, SIX Digital Exchange AG, into SIX SIS AG. This strategic consolidation integrates digital and traditional asset services into a single legal entity, establishing a unified foundation for post-trade services across diverse asset classes.
In addition to the merger, SIX has been authorised to provide crypto custody services through its licensed Central Securities Depository. This development represents another step in the evolution of regulated institutional market infrastructure, allowing financial institutions to manage crypto assets within the same framework used for traditional securities.
By connecting traditional and digital assets through a single, scalable post-trade environment, SIX aims to reduce systemic complexity and streamline the management of digital holdings for market participants.
