Customer snapshot

Zerocap is Australia's premier institutional digital asset firm, where institutional-grade infrastructure meets the speed of crypto. Zerocap delivers deep OTC liquidity, bespoke structured products, and seamless cross-border on/off-ramp execution to global enterprises and institutional investors moving capital across borders.

Overview

‍By integrating SGB’s regulated banking infrastructure and SGB Net's real-time payments network, Zerocap can now settle digital assets instantly within the SGB network and execute USD transfers during Asia hours. The partnership enables institutional desks to manage USD liquidity with the same speed as digital assets, allowing capital to remain accessible even when traditional markets are offline.

The challenge: The "last mile" bottleneck

For institutional digital asset firms, the primary barrier to scale has been the “last mile” of fiat settlement. Traditional banking rails create an “overnight limbo” — periods where capital is held up due to cut-off times and weekend closures.For a global institutional desk like Zerocap, these delays limit the ability to provide timely liquidity to clients across time zones. To scale effectively, Zerocap required a banking partner capable of aligning fiat availability with the always-on nature of digital asset markets.

The solution: Real-time settlement with SGB Net

The partnership uses SGB’s infrastructure to bring fiat movements in step with digital asset activity. Through SGB Net, Zerocap is able to operate across both digital assets and USD without being constrained by market hours.Working with SGB, Zerocap gains greater certainty over fund availability, enabling treasury operations to move with the same responsiveness as the trading desk. The result is a more streamlined fund flow, providing a significant competitive advantage in capital efficiency across their global operations.
