Huarui SmartLink Invests in Zug, Switzerland Digital Asset Custody and Clearing Platform
In Feb 2023, Huarui SmartLink completed an investment in Zug, Switzerland Digital Asset Custody and Clearing Platform through a Token + Equity transaction, with committed capital of CHF 85M. The asset is currently valued at CHF 1.7B (2025 Valuation), and has become one of the firm's key tracked opportunities within its global multi-asset allocation framework.
After the crypto washout, Europe's regulated digital asset market entered an infrastructure consolidation phase with rising institutional custody demand. Based on its assessment of industry trends, valuation levels, and market liquidity, the team continues to deepen research coverage and post-investment monitoring around this opportunity.
Planned exit through 2027-2028 via acquisition by a licensed European venue or secondary token liquidity. In parallel, the investment also improves trust in digital finance through on-chain compliance controls, asset segregation, and transparent settlement. This remains consistent with Huarui SmartLink's investment approach centered on long-term thinking, balanced risk-adjusted returns, and sustainable value creation.
