Swiss Digital-Asset Brokerage

A firm quote stream, and a person behind it.

Gottharix AG streams executable digital-asset prices directly into your trading, treasury or payment system. We price as principal, settle to custody you nominate, and put one named contact behind the connection — so automated execution does not mean an automated relationship.

Who we are

A small Swiss brokerage built for companies that are treated as an afterthought by large platforms.

Most digital-asset venues are built for volume, not for relationships. A finance director opening a corporate account meets a web form, a support queue and a price that moves while the order is still being entered. For a company that needs a defensible record of what was traded, at what price and on whose instruction, that is not good enough.

Gottharix AG was incorporated in the Canton of Zug to serve that gap. We work with a deliberately limited number of corporate clients — small and mid-sized Swiss and European companies with genuine treasury competence — and we execute for them as principal. That means you trade directly with us on a quoted price you accept before execution, not against an anonymous order book with variable fills.

Access is by direct connection. Your system subscribes to our quote stream and executes against prices it can see, without a dealer in the loop and without the delay that introduces. The relationship around that connection stays human — a named contact, reachable directly — but the trading itself is machine to machine.

The scope is narrow on purpose: spot only, major assets only, no leverage, no lending, no discretionary management of client money. Everything we do, we do to a standard we can document.

How it works

Trade against our quote stream.

One connection into executable digital-asset pricing. Your application subscribes to the stream, sends an order against a price it can see, and receives a fill — no negotiation, no manual step, no waiting for a dealer to respond.

Streaming API access

We stream continuous, executable two-way prices to your trading, treasury or payment system. Prices are firm for the full amount you are trading, so the quote your system acts on is the price it gets. Where several liquidity sources are available, orders are routed automatically to the best of them.

Connectivity

  • SupportIntegration handled by us directly, not a documentation portal
Who this fits. Companies running an existing trading, treasury or payment system; payment providers and platforms that need repeatable conversion at a predictable cost; and treasury functions converting between fiat and digital assets on a recurring basis rather than as a one-off. If you have no system to connect and no recurring flow, we are probably not yet the right counterparty — and we will say so rather than onboard you anyway.
Scope & support

What sits behind the connection.

We would rather offer a narrow service executed to a high standard than a broad one executed adequately. Each mandate is scoped in writing before the first trade.

01

Instruments and currencies

Spot only, in assets deep enough to price reliably at institutional size. Nothing we cannot quote firmly and settle cleanly.

  • Bitcoin, Ethereum and major stablecoins
  • Settlement in CHF, EUR and USD
  • No derivatives, no security tokens, no leverage
02

Pricing you can audit

One all-in price, with our markup disclosed in the mandate rather than buried in the spread. The price you are shown is the price you trade at.

  • Markup agreed in writing before the first trade
  • No exchange, routing or withdrawal fees added afterwards
  • Pricing reviewed as volumes grow, not silently re-set
03

Settlement & custody coordination

Delivery to the wallet or qualified custodian you nominate, with clean separation of client and company assets at every step. We do not run a standing client balance sheet or hold idle client funds.

  • Institutional custody technology; no commingling of assets
  • Target settlement T+0 to T+2 depending on rail and size
  • Pre-funded and delivery-versus-payment arrangements available
04

Reporting your auditor accepts

Every trade produces a complete confirmation and an audit trail your accountant, auditor and bank can work from — the documentation problem solved at source rather than reconstructed at year-end.

  • Trade confirmations with full price and fee breakdown
  • Periodic statements formatted for Swiss GAAP bookkeeping
  • Source-of-funds and counterparty records retained on file
How we work

Three commitments we hold ourselves to.

Uncompromising quality

Firm pricing, disciplined risk management and documentation that stands up to scrutiny. We work to institutional standards on execution, record-keeping and operational controls — not because a client has asked, but because it is the only way we are willing to operate. Where we cannot meet that standard, we say so and decline the business.

Seamless onboarding

Corporate onboarding in this industry is usually where the relationship stalls. We front-load the work: one document request, a single point of contact, and clear status at every stage. You will always know what remains outstanding and what we are doing about it. No repeated requests for papers you have already sent — and sandbox access while the paperwork is still running, so your integration is never waiting on our compliance queue.

Personal attention

Every client is served by a named contact who knows the mandate, the history and the constraints — reachable directly, by telephone, without a ticket number. Execution is automated; the relationship is not. We keep our client list deliberately small so that this remains true, and if we cannot give a mandate proper attention we do not take it on.

Onboarding

From first conversation to live connection.

A structured four-stage process. You deal with the same person throughout, and each stage ends with a clear statement of what happens next.

1

Introductory call

We discuss your treasury objective, expected volumes, systems and settlement requirements, and confirm whether the mandate is a fit on both sides. No documents required at this stage.

2

Single document request

One consolidated list covering company identification, beneficial ownership, signatory authority and source of funds. Sent once, with a named contact for any question.

3

Setup & integration

Due diligence, mandate documentation and settlement instructions run in parallel. Sandbox credentials are issued at this stage so your integration can be built and tested before any real money moves.

4

Go live

Production credentials, agreed credit limits and settlement instructions activated. Your system trades the stream from then on; the same contact remains yours for everything around it.

Governance & compliance

Built to be examined.

Digital-asset brokerage carries real obligations. We would rather be conservative about scope than clever about structure.

Swiss incorporated and governed

Gottharix AG is a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft with its registered seat in Baar, Canton of Zug, entered in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zug and subject to Swiss law.

AML and KYC discipline

Client identification, beneficial-ownership verification, source-of-funds review and ongoing transaction monitoring are applied to every relationship, supported by a dedicated anti-money-laundering function.

Deliberately limited scope

Spot transactions only. No derivatives, no security tokens, no leverage, no lending, no deposit-taking and no discretionary asset management. We do not hold standing client credit balances.

Asset separation

Client assets are identified and separated from company assets at all times, with no commingling, and settled to the wallet or qualified custodian the client nominates.

Regulatory status

Gottharix AG is in the process of applying for affiliation with a self-regulatory organisation (SRO) recognised by FINMA under art. 24 of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act. Affiliation has not yet been granted, and the company does not hold and does not require a Swiss banking licence. We will confirm our supervisory status in writing before any client relationship is opened, and we do not accept client business that would require authorisation we do not hold.

Contact

Start with a conversation.

Tell us briefly what you are trying to achieve — expected volumes, assets, and the system you would connect from — and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right counterparty. Enquiries are answered personally, normally within one Swiss business day.
