It’s tech. It’s money. And it can help fix the system. Green fintech explained in 60 seconds. 👇 The term “green fintech” sounds fuzzy. The idea isn’t. We wrote up Green Fintech's Theory of Change. Together with ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the Green Fintech Network. Here’s the TLDR: ✅ Green fintech = tech-powered finance that helps solve environmental problems. But what does that actually mean? 🏦 Green fintech solutions do two things: 1. Capital allocation: Move money into sustainable activities (like impact investing, green loans, or crowdfunding) 2. Transformation: Help existing businesses shift through better data, risk tools, analytics, etc As science shows, these two levers are the only to create real-world impact [Heeb & Kölbel (2020) “Investor’s Guide to Impact”]. 💻 Technology makes it all faster, cheaper, and smarter. → It turns messy data into better decisions → It expands access so more people can invest with impact This is where things get practical. And the new study “Green Fintech Theory of Change” (co-authored by Inyova Impact Investing) explains it well. Green Fintech's Theory of Change is a roadmap for how tech + money can help fix the broken link between finance and sustainability. Kudos to the authors Beat Affolter, James Crawshaw and editor Gerrit Sindermann. Proud of how Inyova keeps pioneering Green Fintech since many years.

That foundation has shaped our global expansion ever since. Today, we hold a Swiss banking licence, Capital Markets Services and Major Payment Institution licences in Singapore, and are licensed in Abu Dhabi and Luxembourg as well as registered in Liechtenstein. Our teams now serve clients across more than 70 countries. In January 2025, Sygnum achieved unicorn status with a USD 1 billion valuation following the final closing of our USD 58 million Strategic Growth Round. This capital supports our expansion into the EU/EEA and Hong Kong, and strengthens the institutional infrastructure we have been building since 2019. It also allows us to expand our product portfolio with a focus on addressing the industry’s biggest opportunities as well as most pressing pain points, supporting the further adoption of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-technology and pursuing strategic growth opportunities. Being first meant we were pioneers. Six years on, our pioneering spirit has remained a core element of our Sygnum DNA that defines who we are and what we do. It is this Sygnum DNA that continues to drive us to build Future Finance – every single day.” Mathias Imbach, Gerald Goh, Luka Müller, Gabriela Maria Payer, Dr., Peter Wuffli, Fabian Dori, Martin Burgherr, Dom Castley MBA MCIM, Fritz W Jost, Dominic L. #FutureFinance #blockchain #bitcoin Disclaimer: https://bit.ly/4edJA1v
