Besides Ethereum 2.0, Sygnum already offers staking for Tezos (XTZ), and a yield-generating fixed term deposit on its Digital Swiss Franc stablecoin (DCHF). Moreover, as iHodl reported, Sygnum's clients can use fiat currencies, including CHF, EUR, SGD and USD, to buy, hold and trade XTZ.

Sygnum is a Switzerland-based licensed digital asset bank. The bank says its trading facility offers investors’ access to new investment opportunities, including instant settlement, the ability to move between fiat, digital CHF (DCHF) and asset token positions in real-time, and the security of bank-grade custody.
