Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum today launched the Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund, a Cayman-domiciled fund for professional and institutional investors. The fund targets 8–10% annual returns in Bitcoin, by systematic arbitrage strategies that convert trading profits directly into BTC, so investors can grow their holdings without selling assets.

Developed with Starboard Digital, with Starmark as AIFM, the fund has monthly liquidity and a strict risk management framework. This is another example of Sygnum’s focus on regulated, yield bearing crypto products that combine professional trading strategies with traditional banking infrastructure.

Professional Investors Get Flexibility

The fund allows participants to keep full Bitcoin price exposure while getting yield. Investors can use Sygnum’s integrated banking services as fund shares are eligible for USD Lombard loans, so they don’t have to liquidate positions.

Key features:

  • Monthly liquidity for institutional investors
  • Strict risk management
  • Shares can be used as collateral for USD loans
  • Trading profits converted directly into BTC

More Regulated Crypto Products

The launch of the BTC Alpha Fund fits into Sygnum’s broader strategy to expand regulated Bitcoin focused investment products. By offering yield generating strategies and integrated banking services the fund caters to the growing demand from institutional investors for secure and compliant crypto exposure.

According to market analysts funds like Sygnum’s could attract inflows from investors looking for professional grade crypto products with predictable returns, addressing the concerns around volatility and market risk. This is also the trend of combining digital asset management with traditional financial structures to create a more stable framework for institutional participation in the crypto space.
