Sage Capital Launches Private Banking to Move Beyond Crypto PB

Crypto prime broker Sage Capital Management has announced an expansion and refocusing on its business by offering what the firm says is “a complete operating system for digital assets”.

At the core of the transformation is the launch of the firm’s private banking service designed for crypto professionals, enabling management between fiat and digital asset markets within a single operating environment. In addition, the firm says it has introduced a proprietary unified trading platform for liquidity, execution, risk management, and Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA).

The expansion means the firm can now enable hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, brokers, corporate treasuries and digital asset treasuries to connect banking, markets access, capital, and technology through one regulated counterparty, providing them with all the infrastructure they need to move, trade, and manage digital assets globally, Sage Capital says.

The new banking service provides clients with named, multi-currency accounts under their legal entity, with access to UK Faster Payments, SEPA, Swift and over 140 currencies, the firm says. It adds the “banking style service” is integrated with global payment rails from un-named Tier 1 banks and enables clients to send and receive payments globally, just like a traditional bank account but directly connected to digital asset markets. “Clients benefit by being able to move quickly between fiat and digital assets, and manage payments and FX,” Sage Capital states. “They can also have physical and virtual corporate Mastercard debit cards linked to their account.”

The firm says a major feature of the new banking service is that every client receives an “Embedded COO” – an operator who acts as an extension of their business. “This is the operational backbone of the service, providing clients with a true banking operations partner, not just access to an account,” Sage Capital states.

“Today we are announcing an unrivalled offering that addresses significant pain points for institutional clients such as fragmentation and operational friction,” claims Nathan Sage, CEO, Sage Capital Management. “We have created a single environment, with unified onboarding, which connects every part of the financial workflow for institutional digital asset clients, reducing operational risk, speeding up the movement of funds, minimising counterparty exposure, and enhancing capital efficiency. 

“In particular, the launch of our banking service, fully integrated into our digital asset infrastructure is game changing, setting new standards in how institutional clients access, manage and deploy capital across digital asset markets,” he adds.

The new banking service will sit alongside the firm’s traditional market access services for clients, who can also gain centralised access to portfolio margin, institutional credit, and structured financing. Sage Capital says collateral is deployed once and used across the network, supported by the firm’s multi-provider capital architecture, which routes credit dynamically, maximising collateral efficiency.

The firm has also launched its proprietary platform which provides clients with a unified trading platform for liquidity, execution, margin, risk and TCA. It enables multi-venue, multi-product trading with an aggregated orderbook, advanced algos, and customisable institutional workspaces.

“Our new offering sets us apart from competitors, with one integrated financial network, powered by a unified technology platform and engineered for institutional scale,” says Sage. “We are giving institutions the ability to operate end-to-end – across banking, liquidity, capital, and technology – without friction, and are ultimately making institutional participation in digital assets more accessible than ever.”
