Celsion Bank has commenced its operational activities, as a fully licensed bank for digital assets.
The bank is licensed by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) and authorised under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR), enabling it to serve clients across the EU, European Economic Area, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Custom-built for digital asset banking, Celsion combines digital asset capabilities with traditional banking infrastructure within a single, integrated framework.
The bank focuses on clients active in digital assets, including companies, asset managers, foundations, and other corporations with digital asset exposure.
At launch, the bank provides digital asset custody, trading, staking and transfer services, in addition to core banking services within a fully regulated framework.
These capabilities are integrated into a single infrastructure, enabling clients to manage digital assets alongside traditional banking services in a seamless setup.
The firm is led by CEO Dr Markus Federspiel, alongside Mauro Casellini, chief growth officer, Holger Schultes, chief operating officer, Harald Siegel, chief financial officer, and Kevin Pekar chief revenue officer.
With the start of operations, Celsion enters the market from Liechtenstein, which the firm says is a financial centre with high supervisory standards, clear legal framework for digital assets, stability, and security.
Lee Weiss, chairman of the board of directors, notes: “Clients active in digital assets require a banking setup where trading, custody and payments operate seamlessly together. That is the infrastructure Celsion provides.”
Federspiel adds: “We are not simply building another bank, but shaping a model that enables the long-term integration of traditional banking and digital assets within a fully regulated environment.”
