Operational independenceDepends on configuration

1 independent party or system must fail before a Sygnum holder's bitcoin is at risk.

  • •A single institution controls the keys, so its compromise, insolvency, or unilateral action is sufficient to put funds at risk.
  • •Regulated status and segregation can protect assets in insolvency, but they do not create independence of control.

Sygnum's custody insurance is not publicly disclosed.

Frequently asked questions
Is Sygnum safe?+

Sygnum uses a regulated bank model and scores 67/100 in our independent review, including 85/100 on custody security. One institution can move funds, which is a single point of failure. Safety depends on your priorities; see the full score breakdown above.

Is my bitcoin insured at Sygnum?+

Sygnum's custody insurance is not publicly disclosed in a form we can verify. Where it exists, custody insurance covers specific named events up to shared limits and does not cover price loss. Confirm coverage in writing before relying on it.

What happens to my bitcoin if Sygnum fails?+

Because Sygnum holds custody through a single institution, recovery in a failure would run through that institution's bankruptcy or resolution process and depends on whether assets were segregated and properly titled. This is the concentration risk of single-custodian models.

Does Sygnum support inheritance?+

Sygnum does not advertise a dedicated inheritance or beneficiary feature in the data we track. Confirm current options with the provider, since custody inheritance handling changes.
