Zurich, 13th November 2024 – Wyden, the leader in institutional infrastructure for the digital asset trading lifecycle, announces the successful closing of its latest funding round, securing CHF 14.5 million (USD 16.9 million). The Series B round was spearheaded by Truffle Capital, a Paris based global fintech investment firm, with participation from new investors PostFinance, SBI-Sygnum-Azimut Digital Asset Opportunity Fund, and FiveT Fintech, as well as existing investor C3 Venture Capital. Strategic expansion driven by global digital asset regulation Wyden will leverage these funds for strategic growth, targeting new markets and further intensifying its sell-side expansion for banks, brokers and exchanges. With a clear focus on regulatory compliance, Wyden plans to extend its reach into markets where digital asset operations are regulated with the same rigor as traditional financial services, such as the EU, Switzerland, Turkey, the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil and other leading jurisdictions. Wyden expands European development hubs and sales functions in push for market leadership During 2025, the company aims to integrate up to 20 additional banks, brokers and exchanges into its ecosystem, supported by an expanded team of 100 professionals – with a core focus on strengthening both sales, marketing, product and delivery functions as well as Wyden’s development hubs in Poland. This expansion underscores Wyden’s ambition to deliver best-in-class trade lifecycle infrastructure solutions from Europe to a global market. By enhancing the firm’s core teams, Wyden is poised to accelerate both product development and global sales capabilities, setting the stage for the next phase of growth. Digital asset banking leaders trust Wyden Wyden has been successfully increasing the number of regulated sell-side clients who rely on Wyden for their critical front, middle and back office digital asset functions. Current clients include renowned banks, online and neo-brokers such as Banque Delubac (France), Smartbroker+ and Baader Bank (Germany), Luzerner Kantonalbank and InCore Bank (Switzerland) and other large banking clients. In addition, active selection discussions are currently underway with potential Tier 1 and Tier 2 banks and brokers who are currently applying for their CASP licenses in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Turkey. Wyden is confident that it will be able to achieve further growth successes in the coming months.
