Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) is a global financial services firm that has been providing investment banking, asset management and other financial services since 1988. CSFB offers its clients access to the world’s leading markets through its network of offices in key European and Asian cities. The company also provides advisory services for mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and corporate restructurings as well as capital-raising solutions such as equity offerings.
In addition to traditional finance products, Credit Suisse First Boston is one of the few firms at the forefront of cryptocurrency investments. It was an early adopter of Bitcoin technology when it began investing in 2013; by 2017 it had invested over $1 billion into blockchain companies worldwide. As part of its commitment to crypto innovation, CSFB recently launched Crypto Capital Partners LLP – a hedge fund dedicated exclusively to cryptocurrencies – in 2018.
The firm also works with public entities on issuing digital assets pegged to fiat currencies or commodities via tokenized securities backed by underlying reserves held at custodian banks around the world. This type of transaction allows governments and private organizations alike benefit from enhanced liquidity within existing laws while avoiding cyber security risks associated with some decentralized tokens issued directly onto blockchains without any centralized control measures or regulatory oversight bodies involved during issuance process .
By offering both traditional financial products alongside innovative crypto finance solutions Credit Suisse First Boston helps bridge gaps between institutional investors used to dealing with regulated marketplaces/exchanges but are unfamiliar with blockchain based technologies along newer players interested more specifically in digital currency trading activities which still lack sufficient legal framework necessary for wide adoption across different borders globally
