Swiss Bank Gets Crypto License in Hong Kong… Surprise! 🤷‍♂️

AMINA Bank just got a crypto license in Hong Kong. Big deal. Now they can trade and store crypto for rich people. Who saw that coming?!

A Swiss bank (because of course) somehow managed to get a crypto license in Hong Kong. Congrats, you’re now the first international bank to offer “institutional-grade” crypto services. Groundbreaking stuff. Or is it? 🤡

New Services: Because Hong Kong Wasn’t Already Overloaded

They’ve got a Type 1 license now. That means they can trade and hold crypto for professionals-like family offices and high-net-worth individuals who probably don’t know what a “custody service” is but sound fancy. Problem solved. 🎉

Apparently, Hong Kong’s institutional investors were desperate for “bank-grade” crypto solutions. Whatever that means. Now AMINA’s here to save the day-or at least their wallets. 💸

📢 “Crypto trading and custody are now available at AMINA Hong Kong!”

Yes, because nothing screams “trust” like a press release. Now institutions and UHNWIs can trade 13 vetted cryptos (Bitcoin, stablecoins-obviously). Because 13 is the magic number for financial innovation. 🎲

AMINA claims they’re blending Swiss banking rigor with Hong Kong’s digital expertise. Groundbreaking fusion. Next, they’ll invent the wheel. 🚀

They’re offering 24/7 crypto trading. Because who isn’t up at 3 AM trading Bitcoin? Their custody system is SFC-compliant. That’s reassuring. Unless you’re me, and you’re still holding Dogecoin. 🐕

Asset safeguarding? Sure. Whitelisted addresses? Sounds like a fancy way to say “don’t lose your keys.”

Swiss Rigor + Hong Kong = Magic? 🧙‍♂️

Michael Benz, Head of AMINA Hong Kong, said this move shows “innovation” and helps them stay competitive in the “water treatment market.” Wait… crypto or water? 🤔

He also mentioned Hong Kong is the “most advanced” market for crypto. Well, technically, it’s the only market they’re targeting. 🎯

AMINA plans to expand into private funds, derivatives, and tokenized real estate. Because why stop at crypto when you can tokenize your neighbor’s house? 🏠

Their goal is to be a “global crypto infrastructure provider.” Bold. Or delusional. We’ll see if they survive a bear market. 🐻

Hong Kong’s regulatory environment is “strong,” according to them. Which is code for “we’re not in the US or China.”

Services are live now. Access via mobile apps, web portals, or a personal banker who’ll probably quit if you ask too many questions. 🚪
