Cense onboarded a €30M high-frequency crypto trader

The challenge: millions of trades, zero access to European Banking

A crypto trader with over €30 million in assets and more than 500.000 trades and transactions wanted to diversify into Europe. Despite serious wealth and legitimate intent, no private bank could handle the scale or validate the full story. The client was seen as an edge case, too complex to bank.

The problem: high volume, low visbility

The client had been trading crypto for years using fully automated strategies. His portfolio was complex, with assets spread across dozens of wallets and exchanges, including some no longer active. Manual onboarding was impossible. Even experienced banking teams struggled to validate the client’s story, given the sheer volume of trades and limited tooling for such edge cases.

The solution: automation enhanced by expertise

For this case, we combined our core platform with tailored support to match the scale and complexity of the portfolio:

• The client linked all wallets and trading platforms via our interface.
• Our system ingested and batch-processed millions of transactions automatically.
• Inactive exchange histories were reconstructed manually through additional proofs.
• Data was consolidated and structured into a comprehensive, audit-ready compliance report.
• We worked closely with the bank’s relationship manager and compliance team to ensure alignment with internal frameworks.

The investment: clear, transparent, and tailored

For this bespoke case, we worked directly for the crypto owner. Together with our partners Delta Finance (Switzerland) and CryptotaxAudit (USA), we assessed the portfolio and agreed on a pricing structure based on its size and complexity.
The model combined a fixed fee with a performance-based component. Everything was transparent from day one. The client stayed in control while we handled the case end to end.

The result: banked with confidence

The crypto trader gained access to the European banking system and successfully diversified his holdings. Today, he is rotating his crypto into other investment categories and building a robust portfolio for himself and future generations.

Confident. Compliant. Future-ready.
