Celsion Bank has started its operations under a license from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) and with authorisation under MiCAR.
This enables the bank to provide services to clients across the EU/EEA, Switzerland, and other jurisdictions where legally permitted.
Designed for digital asset banking, Celsion integrates digital asset services with traditional banking infrastructure.
Its services target clients active in digital assets, including companies, asset managers, foundations, and other corporates.
At launch, the bank offers digital asset custody, trading, staking, and transfer services. These are provided alongside core banking functions, all within a regulated framework.
These services operate on a single platform, allowing clients to manage digital and traditional assets together.
Celsion’s executive team combines experience in regulated banking, capital markets, audit, technology, risk management, and digital assets.
The leadership team comprises CEO Dr Markus Federspiel, CGO Mauro Casellini, COO Holger Schultes, CFO Harald Siegel, and CRO Kevin Pekar, supported by a team across all key functions.
The bank also benefits from a long-term investor base with expertise in digital assets.
“Clients active in digital assets require a banking setup where trading, custody and payments operate seamlessly together. That is the infrastructure Celsion provides,”
said Lee Weiss, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Dr Markus Federspiel, CEO, added:
“We are not simply building another bank, but shaping a model that enables the long-term integration of traditional banking and digital assets within a fully regulated environment.”
Celsion operates from Liechtenstein, a financial centre noted for stability, high supervisory standards, and a clear legal framework for digital assets.
The jurisdiction provides a foundation for a bank bridging traditional and digital financial markets.
