Metalpha Partners with AMINA Bank the Swiss crypto-focused bank to Advance Digital Asset Wealth Management in Hong Kong

Strategic collaboration launches with Principal Fund I, a crypto equity fund capitalising on the surge in crypto-related public companies

Metalpha Technology Holding Limited, one of Asia’s largest digital asset-focused wealth management company, announces a strategic partnership with AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank with global reach. This collaboration kick starts the co-development of innovative digital asset solutions, starting with the distribution of Principal Fund I. This positions AMINA, through its Hong Kong subsidiary, AMINA (Hong Kong) Limited, to be among the first regulated crypto service providers to offer a comprehensive crypto equity exposure product to qualified professional investors in the Hong Kong market.

Monique Chan, CEO of Metalpha’s Hong Kong licensed subsidiary LSQ Capital Ltd., said: “In collaboration with AMINA Bank, we are supporting global ultra-high-net-worth clients in accessing digital asset opportunities through a more secure, trusted, and regulated approach.”

The partnership launches amid record institutional demand for crypto exposure, with US Bitcoin ETFs having the fastest ever growth in AUM, accumulating to over 150 billion since early 2024 and unprecedented demand for regulated, high-performance digital asset products. The inaugural product, Principal Fund I, offers comprehensive exposure to the broader crypto ecosystem through a portfolio of listed equities, including industry leaders such as Coinbase, Circle, and MicroStrategy from the US market, as well as those listed in Hong Kong. The fund has outperformed the benchmark index by more than 20% since August 2024. The fund’s core strategy is to achieve a better risk-adjusted return over BTC by employing sophisticated derivatives positioning to enhance performance and manage volatility. Managed by the Hong Kong SFC Type 9 licensed LSQ Capital Limited, the fund is available to qualified professional investors with a minimum investment of $1M USD.

Michael Benz, Head of APAC at AMINA Bank, said: “Hong Kong has strategically focused on building institutional crypto infrastructure first, and we’re now witnessing the natural evolution toward broader professional investor adoption. Through our partnership with Metalpha, AMINA is positioned to bridge this transition to provide the sophisticated investment strategies that the market demands. We are creating a unique value proposition for the next phase of digital asset and wealth management. This is just the first of many products we will be working on together.”

The partnership is designed to advance digital asset wealth management capabilities in Hong Kong, combining AMINA’s regulated infrastructure with Metalpha’s proven expertise and track record in proprietary investment strategies. The group-level collaboration establishes a framework for ongoing development of solutions bridging traditional finance and digital assets. The alliance addresses the needs of family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors seeking sophisticated exposure to the evolving digital asset ecosystem.
