Leading Swiss online bank and financial services provider, Swissquote, has announced that it anticipates exceeding its financial forecasts, driven by a surge in demand for cryptocurrency trading and related services. The bank’s client assets grew 31% on year in 2024. 

According to Swissquote, heightened interest in crypto trading during 2023 has significantly contributed to its performance.

Swissquote Positioning Itself As A Leader In Crypto-Financial Services Sector

On 17 January 2025, the company stated that its pre-tax profit for the year is expected to surpass CHF 495 million ($548 million), comfortably exceeding previous market expectations. The bank’s net new money inflows totaled 8.3 billion Swiss francs last year.

The bank attributed the growth to not only to the popularity of cryptocurrencies but also to Swissquote’s diversified portfolio of financial services. By continuously expanding its crypto-related offerings, Swissquote managed to attract a broad customer base seeking secure and regulated access to the digital asset market.

As regulatory clarity around digital assets improves globally, institutions like Swissquote are well-placed to capitalize on this momentum.

In August 2024, the company’s crypto revenue tripled compared to the same period last year. This highlights the growing interest and participation in the cryptocurrency market. This surge in the trading, investing and banking platform’s revenue underscores the increasing adoption of digital currencies.
