SEBA Bank, a digital assets firm with a banking license in Switzerland, has raised 20 million Swiss francs ($22.48 million) in a Series B funding round, it told CoinDesk.

  • Both existing and news investors from Switzerland, Europe and Asia joined the round, the firm said, but it did not disclose any names.
