Digital Assets Innovation, with Institutional Trust

Pioneering the future of digital assets, informed by a legacy of excellence in financial infrastructure: SIX offers institutional services for digital assets issuance, custody and trading, financial data, and regulatory solutions.

The digital securities market saw a surge of growth in the past five years, driven largely by institutional adoption and technological advancements – and its potential is far from realized as it stands to continue to grow and serve as a disruptor in financial markets. 

For ~100 years, SIX has stood for financial stability and innovation. SIX built those values into its digital asset offering, giving market participants the tools they need to realize the potential of digital securities markets.

Global Landscape and SIX Expertise

Digital assets are virtual or intangible resources that exist in electronic form. They can be created, stored, and transmitted electronically. They can be bought, sold, traded, or transferred electronically, often with the help of blockchain technology.  

The universe of digital assets is broad, and the SIX offering and expertise extends to the areas of digital securities and currencies, digital money and payments, and non-digital products that offer exposure to digital assets.

Since their introduction to the public in 2009 with the emergence of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the types of digital assets, their use cases, and the systems used to manage them have proliferated and now include a wide variety of assets, like tradeable digital securities, cryptocurrencies, tokenized real-world assets, and digital money and payments. 

Today's Most Trusted Financial Infrastructure, Moving Finance into Tomorrow

The writing is on the wall: digital assets and their corresponding infrastructure are poised to drive significant growth for market participants. When surveyed, market participants cited alternative asset classes and distributed ledger technology based solutions as the number one and two biggest drivers of growth for their organizations.  

 

The key to unlocking those growth-drivers lies in solutions and infrastructures that can scale to market-size. More than 60% of market participants reported1 a desire for safe, transparent, and regulated environments for trading digital assets, and cited regulatory uncertainty and market liquidity as deterrents from engaging in digital securities markets. 

 

To answer that call and facilitate seamless market interaction, SIX developed a digital assets ecosystem with institutional trust and expertise in combination with the drive to redefine the future of finance.
