White Swan Capital Sets Up Zurich Office to Deliver MiCA-Ready Crypto-Backed Lending Across Europe

ZURICH — White Swan Capital, the FCA-regulated digital-asset finance company, today confirmed plans to establish its continental European headquarters in Zurich before year-end 2025 and to launch

tailor-made crypto-collateralised loans throughout the European Economic Area. The expansion will let investors unlock liquidity in bitcoin, ether and other major assets without selling their positions, while

taking advantage of Switzerland’s fintech ecosystem and the EU’s forthcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.

The firm already holds every license required for seamless operations on both sides of the Alps. In Switzerland, it has secured a FINMA FinTech license under Article 1b of the Banking Act, authorizing it to accept up to CHF 100 million in digital deposits and extend secured credit. It is likewise an active member of the VQF Self-Regulatory Organization, providing continuous anti-money-laundering oversight. On the EU side, White Swan Capital has obtained Crypto-Asset Service Provider authorization under MiCA, which will allow it to passport custody, lending, and broker-dealer services across all member states from 30 December 2024.

The Zurich hub will house credit-structuring, quantitative-risk and compliance teams and is expected to create forty highly skilled jobs. Clients will gain twenty-four-hour access to euro, Swiss-franc and sterling liquidity against their digital assets, powered by an AI risk engine that continuously recalibrates

loan-to-value and liquidation thresholds to dampen market volatility–technology already proven on the

company’s UK platform.

European digital-lending volumes are forecast to grow at more than twenty per cent annually

through 2027. By combining Swiss regulatory clarity, EU market access and machine-learning-driven risk management, White Swan Capital intends to capture a significant share of that expansion while partnering with private banks, family offices and professional investors.
