Swiss Bank AMINA Joins 11 Platforms in Hong Kong’s Global Crypto Gold Rush

AMINA Bank (Hong Kong) Limited, a subsidiary of Swiss-regulated AMINA Bank AG, has achieved a significant regulatory milestone by obtaining a Type 1 license upgrade from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This approval makes AMINA the first international banking group authorized to offer both crypto spot trading and custody services to professional investors in the region. This development aligns with Hong Kong's expanding digital asset framework, which has seen substantial growth and new regulations throughout 2025, including the SFC's 'A-S-P-I-Re' framework. The new service addresses a gap for institutional clients and family offices seeking regulated crypto access. AMINA plans to further expand its offerings in Hong Kong to include private fund management, derivatives, and tokenized assets, as the city opens its licensed platforms to connect with global capital pools to boost market depth.
