Swiss Digital Bank Sygnum Raises 750 Bitcoin ($65M) for BTC Alpha Fund

Sygnum, a digital asset banking group based in Switzerland and Singapore, and Starboard Digital have successfully raised a reported 750 Bitcoin BTC $84 021 24h volatility: 5.7% Market cap: $1.68 T Vol. 24h: $66.35 B worth approximately $65 million in seed funding after launching the Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund.

The Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund is an actively managed, yield-generating Bitcoin fund that was launched on Oct. 22, 2025. According to a Jan. 29 press release, it reached an annualized 8.9% net return in BTC for Q4 2025.

Starboard Digital founder Nikolas Skarlatos, in a statement, described the fund’s success as a validation of institutional-grade Bitcoin yield strategies and targets of 8%-10% annual returns across market conditions. Sygnum Head of Portfolio Management Markus Hämmerli echoed that sentiment, saying the performance demonstrated that “professional Bitcoin management can deliver meaningful results even when spot markets are flat or declining.”

Delta-neutral BTC arbitrage trading

The fund’s stated goal is to achieve between 8 and 10 percent growth through market-neutral arbitrage trading with payouts in Bitcoin. This strategy is often referred to as “delta-neutral” as it exploits both the difference between spot and derivatives market.

With the Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund, the profits generated from these arbitrage trades are converted back into Bitcoin. This allows the investor’s total BTC balance to grow over time whether Bitcoin is up, down, or neutral.

Sygnum also says that fund shares are eligible as collateral for Lombard loans, which allows investors to access liquidity without reducing their Bitcoin exposure.

The early success of the Alpha fund through Q4 2025 demonstrates the potential for Sygnum and Starboard’s strategy to provide a bulwark against market fluctuations. The fourth quarter saw the price of Bitcoin fall from well over $100,000 to below $90,000. As of the time of this article’s publication BTC is trading at approximately $84,000.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
