The first bank-tokenized Picasso — fine art as a ledger security.
In 2021 Sygnum Bank and Artemundi tokenized Pablo Picasso's 1964 'Fillette au béret' into 4,000 Art Security Tokens — the first time a regulated bank issued tokens in an artwork, with legal ownership rights under the Swiss DLT Act. The painting is stored in a high-security Swiss freeport under bank custody.
The Picasso AST is a legal milestone wrapped around an appraisal-marked, bank-walled asset: ownership rights are genuinely enforceable under Swiss law, but exit requires a buyer inside Sygnum's client network or an eventual sale of the painting itself. Blue-chip art indices suggest gentle appreciation; the position is best understood as a collectible allocation with museum-grade provenance.
