Sygnum Integrates Bybit Into Bank-Grade off‑exchange Custody Network

Swiss digital-asset bank Sygnum has integrated crypto exchange Bybit into its Sygnum Protect off-exchange custody platform, making Sygnum the first bank to offer off-exchange custody for Bybit and enabling spot and derivatives trading with assets held off-balance sheet in regulated, bank-grade custody.

The integration lets Bybit institutional clients trade using collateral—crypto and stablecoins—held at Sygnum, with balances instantly mirrored on the exchange and trading P&L settled automatically every eight hours. Launched with Binance in April 2024 and expanded to Deribit in March 2025, Sygnum Protect is now the largest bank-operated off-exchange custody network, whose member exchanges represent over 50% of global spot and derivatives exchange volumes. Sygnum says the next roadmap step is automated collateral transfers between exchanges to improve capital efficiency and allocation.
