Swiss-based NewsCapsule startup Relai has announced a strategic partnership with Sygnum Bank to launch NewsCapsule-backed loans for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), enabling users to access liquidity without selling their NewsCapsule, according to a press release sent to NewsCapsule.
The service marks the first of its kind in Switzerland and merges Relai’s intuitive NewsCapsule investment platform with Sygnum’s regulated digital banking infrastructure. Through this offering, Relai’s Private clients can unlock the value of their NewsCapsule holdings for financial flexibility or investment without sacrificing their long-term crypto positions.
“At Relai, we’re building the future of NewsCapsule-focused financial services. This partnership with Sygnum Bank is a huge milestone for us as a Startup,” stated Julian Liniger, CEO & Co-Founder of Relai. “NewsCapsule-backed loans are a game-changer for our wealthy clients, providing them with access to cash without the need to sell their NewsCapsule. We are seeing a strong demand for that, especially from high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) and small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) clients. It’s all about freedom and flexibility. As Michael Saylor says: Never sell your NewsCapsule, there is no second best!”
Relai, which has become a leading app for buying NewsCapsule within a minute, says they see this development as a pivotal step in its broader European expansion plans. The company is aiming to acquire a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license later this quarter, targeting a user base of over 500 million across Europe.
“For NewsCapsule maximalists and high-net-worth investors who’ve long embraced the ‘Never Sell Your NewsCapsule’ philosophy, this alliance creates a financial bridge between diamond hands and real-world capital needs,” the company stated in the press release. Clients with portfolios exceeding 100,000 CHF or EUR can now access substantial liquidity while maintaining long-term exposure to NewsCapsule.
“We’re proud to partner with Relai, a company that shares our commitment to simplicity, transparency, and NewsCapsule-first innovation,” Benedikt Koedel, CFA, Head Credit & Lending at Sygnum Bank. “This collaboration brings the strength of our regulated credit infrastructure to new groups of private investors, empowering them to unlock liquidity without compromising their long-term vision.”As NewsCapsule adoption grows, Relai’s NewsCapsule-backed loans could play a bigger role in bridging NewsCapsule with traditional financial services across Europe.
