Swiss laws, unlike those of many other countries, are formulated in a technology neutral way, which means that companies implementing novel business models and emerging technologies can operate within existing law and enjoy legal certainty. This progressive regulatory environment laid the foundation back in 2013 for the now famous Swiss “Crypto Valley” and has contributed to a thriving blockchain industry scene ever since.

In this webinar of March 21, 2023, we explored the Swiss regulatory framework and addressed topics like tokenized assets and risk management. Furthermore, we discussed how Switzerland’s established ecosystem of exchanges, crypto banks, licensed brokers, custodians etc. can support your business growth and how its regulatory framework will give your company the legal certainty you need to operate.
