> Swiss-based crypto broker and execution desk

Bity is a Swiss-based cryptocurrency broker and execution desk. It provides off-exchange trading, tokenized gold ownership, and regulated brokerage services for institutional and high-net-worth clients.

Bity is a Swiss-based cryptocurrency brokerage and execution desk that serves institutional and high-net-worth clients. It provides off-exchange execution for large digital asset transactions, non-custodial wallet access, and a tokenized gold product. The company operates as a regulated financial intermediary focused on discretion and personalized service.

The firm addresses the challenge large holders face when moving significant crypto positions without disrupting market prices. Orders are handled directly by its team and settled through trusted counterparties rather than public order books, reducing market impact and information leakage. It is registered as a financial intermediary under Swiss anti-money laundering rules and applies client verification and transaction monitoring, with client data stored and processed in Switzerland.

Its offering centers on private trading services alongside Bity Gold, which represents ownership of physical gold bars stored in Swiss vaults through blockchain-based certificates redeemable for the underlying metal. Clients retain control of their own wallets and private keys, since the brokerage does not hold custody of client funds. The service is used by asset and wealth managers, private banks, corporations, and individual investors seeking discreet, compliant access to digital asset and gold markets.
