Our Mission
Up to now, the world of finance has been relatively protected from disruption, unlike the service, hotel, transport, or luxury industries that have all been digitalized. Finally, the financial world is experiencing this disruption with the acceptance of digital assets by a community outside of the blockchain one. alt is here to bridge the gap between the traditional banking world and digital assets, in a smooth and seamless way.
Our History
As an avant-garde multi-family office, CAPLAND’s Director, Olivier Cohen, took an interest in digital assets as early as 2012. Altcoinomy SA was thus created to build the missing link between early adopter and financial institutions.
alt was established to address the basic need of facilitating crypto-related fund transfers. We realised early on that despite investments in digital-assets becoming increasingly widespread, banks continued to be reluctant in accepting crypto-related funds.
Today, alt is the premier provider and facilitator of digital asset services in the industry. KYC/AML, prime brokerage, we draft crypto due diligence reports, execute crypto trades, facilitate project fundraising and bank account opening, all in the most compliant way.
