Sygnum Introduces ETH Alpha Fund for Professional Investors

Sygnum AG has launched the Sygnum ETH Alpha Fund SP, catering to professional investors seeking to expand their Ether (ETH) holdings beyond traditional staking. The market-neutral fund targets annual returns of 8-10% in ETH, significantly outperforming the typical staking yields of 2-3%.

The fund operates through Sygnum Protect, ensuring collateral remains off-exchange at a regulated bank. Investors can expect increased ETH accumulation without converting earnings to other currencies. The fund employs multiple strategies, including options premium, trading venue arbitrage, and derivatives market returns.

Sygnum's initiative reflects growing interest among long-term ETH holders to augment their holdings without selling. It follows the Starboard Sygnum BTC Alpha Fund, launched in 2025, and is available to qualified investors in markets such as Switzerland.
