FalconX, the leading institutional digital asset prime brokerage, announced a landmark partnership with Sygnum Bank, a global digital asset banking group, to expand institutional participation in on-chain tokenized credit through a regulated banking gateway.
Through the collaboration, Sygnum Bank’s institutional and private wealth clients will gain access to FalconX’s on-chain structured credit facility – a tokenized, overcollateralized lending vehicle built on assets sourced from the FalconX lending ecosystem, designed to provide exposure to institutional digital asset credit potential and returns from institutional credit participation*.
The partnership represents a structural shift in how institutional credit is accessed in digital assets, combining the institutional standards of a regulated bank with the transparency and programmability of blockchain infrastructure.
Bridging Banking and Blockchain
Under this structure, Sygnum Bank will act as lender of record on behalf of its eligible clients, enabling them to participate in FalconX’s credit facility through its regulated platform, Desygnate.
The facility leverages Pareto for on-chain credit infrastructure, M11 Credit as Administrative and Collateral Agent, and Keyring for compliance verification and access controls.
Together, the structure enables seamless participation in on-chain tokenized credit while leveraging institutional onboarding, AML, and governance standards.

Pioneering On-Chain Institutional Credit Facility
FalconX launched the first tokenized structured credit facility in digital assets, pioneering a new model for bringing fixed-income discipline to crypto markets.
The facility provides exposure to an institutional digital asset credit pool, where a FalconX special-purpose vehicle (SPV) extends overcollateralized credit to eligible counterparties. The structure is supported by real-time collateral monitoring, automated margin management, independent oversight from M11 Credit, and a bankruptcy-remote framework designed to separate investor capital from FalconX’s corporate balance sheet.
“Tokenization is transforming institutional credit, and institutions are increasingly looking for structured, transparent ways to participate in digital asset lending markets,” said Austin Reid, Global Head of Revenue and Business at FalconX. “This partnership expands the reach of on-chain institutional credit through a premier digital asset bank and establishes the blueprint for regulated adoption globally.”
“We are proud to partner with FalconX to offer our clients access to institutional digital asset credit through the gateway of a regulated bank”, said Fatmire Bekiri, Head Tokenization at Sygnum. “It is encouraging to see how rapidly financial markets are evolving on-chain, and we remain committed to supporting our clients as this new financial infrastructure develops.”
Defining the Next Phase of Institutional Crypto Finance
The convergence of regulated financial institutions and on-chain infrastructure is accelerating. This partnership demonstrates how tokenized infrastructure can integrate directly into regulated financial systems – not as a parallel ecosystem, but as an extension of it.
By embedding institutional credit into trusted banking channels, FalconX is advancing its vision of making on-chain credit a foundational pillar of institutional digital asset markets.
