European Banks Are Moving Into Crypto Who’s Live, Who’s Lagging, and What’s Next

Sygnum has completed Switzerland’s first live AI-agent digital asset transactions by a regulated bank, allowing blockchain trades through plain-language client instructions. The pilot showed AI can execute complex on-chain transactions while customers keep custody, consent and full control of wallets and assets. Thomas Frei, head of AI and Data Analytics, said the system combines faster execution with bank-grade trust and security. The trial advances Sygnum’s AI@Sygnum strategy, which uses AI to support human decision-making rather than replace trusted banking relationships.
