What is Blockchain? Before we mention what Blockchain technology is, we need to say a few words about distributed ledger technology (DLT), which is simply a decentralized database managed by various participants, a digital system for recording the transactions of assets in which the transactions and their details are recorded in multiple places at the same time. By this definition, blockchain is a type of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for maintaining a permanent and tamper-proof record of transactional data. A blockchain ledger consists of two types of records: individual transactions and blocks. A block is used in database management, word processing, and network communication. Therefore, blockchain is mainly a transaction done between two parties, A and B, that exchange values through digitized methods, that creates blocks of transactions between different network systems of participating computers. The values resulting from these transactions are then are evaluated mathematically so that they can be verified, recorded and executed. Blockchain: From Bitcoin to Today The most well-known (and first widespread) use of a Blockchain in powering the famous/infamous cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Bitcoin is an online 'currency' that enables its users to pay each other using units of value that exists purely online and without any kind of central bank overseeing their use. Bitcoin is fast, cheap to use and secure. Blockchain itself is only 10 years old yet has achieved global penetration and had a massive effect on the world economy. It is also among the most widespread and broadly-adopted technologies due to its astonishing variety of use cases. First created in 2008 as the underlying infrastructure for recording and executing bitcoin-based financial transactions, it has since become a technological revolution in its own right, with applications for data storage, security, entertainment, commerce, regulation, governance and many more use-cases. Switzerland and Liechtenstein Investments in Blockchain The government of Liechtenstein is introducing new legislation to regulate blockchain business models and systems. Similarly, Switzerland is launching a blockchain task force to boost the growth of this technology within its borders. The task force will review the country’s existing blockchain guidelines and create a framework for companies that will use digital currencies and blockchain technology. The area of law regarding collective investment schemes is still at an early stage, and the use of blockchain still needs more review as it cannot yet be conclusively assessed. Currently in different sectors, many blockchain projects are still in their infancy. Investing in blockchain gives freedom to the market and business that contributes on the growth of the country's economy.

Distributed ledger technology (DLT) has been gradually growing and contributing to the economy of both Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The technology has stimulated the financial sector of these two countries, resulting in a great boost to the economic sector and to investment. For example, over 600 companies and institutions have been located in Crypto Nation (Liechtenstein’s blockchain hub), which has provided more than 3000 employment opportunities for people of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Switzerland has proven to be a world leader in distributed ledger technologies (DLT). Its top 50 blockchain technology companies provide more than 440 jobs to its domestic citizens, and are estimated to be worth more than $44 Billion in market capitalization. In order to be part of Crypto Valley (a concentration of digital finance and FinTech companies based in the Swiss region of Zug) these top 50 blockchain technology companies have to meet the following criteria: The company’s core business has to include blockchain technology, more than one person has to be employed from either Switzerland or Liechtenstein, and the company has to contribute to the blockchain ecosystem and crypto valley community, and has to put at least US $10 million into maintaining 10 full time positions in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. This report DKA and BIC will refer to the Federal Council of Switzerland to provide an overview of the relevant legal framework that will clarify the need for action on Blockchain technology. On 7th Dec 2018, the Swiss Federal Council adopted a legal framework for distributed ledger technology (DLT), blockchain in particular, to boost the financial sector of the country, comprised of the following principles: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Policymakers should provide an optimal framework conducive to innovation, while market and society preferences should determine which technologies will prevail; Switzerland should not fundamentally call into question its proven and balanced legal framework, but should swiftly make targeted adjustments as needed where there are gaps or obstacles with regard to Blockchain applications; Switzerland should continue to pursue a principle-based and technology-neutral legislative and regulatory approach, but should also allow exceptions if necessary; the rules should be as competition-neutral as possible; Switzerland should position itself as an attractive location vis-à-vis Blockchain companies by means of legal certainty, efficient regulation and a good reputation, whereby the use of innovative technologies for fraudulent or abusive acts or to circumvent the regulatory framework will not be tolerated; and

Methodology of the Research In this report we mapped all Swiss and Liechtenstein-based entities, including companies, investors, think-tanks and accelerators, and collected them according to subsector and use-case. Some such entities are focused on very specific use-cases, while others are applying Blockchain to a variety of use cases. As such this use-case classification scheme is only applicable to 80-90% of the entities profiled in these reports, due to the fact that many such companies fall under multiple use-cases. It is however sufficient for the purposes of this first edition, which is to provide a basic overview of Swiss and Liechtenstein-based Blockchain system-related entities, organisations and major players. We devised the classification schemes employed in our Mindmaps and categorization frameworks according to the following subsectors:

2018 Legal framework for Distributed Ledger Technology and Blockchain in Switzerland December 7th 2018 the Swiss State Secretariat under the Federal council released a report entitled Legal Framework for Distributed Ledger Technology and Blockchain in Switzerland. The report is focusing on the potential uses of blockchain technology on the financial sector of the country. The Federal Council believes that for Swiss to develop on financial sector the framework must be created so that Switzerland can establish and further develop itself as a leading, innovative, and sustainable location for fintech and blockchain companies. This Legal framework has the following main three objectives as quoted from the report: 1.
2.
3.
Establishing an overview: The report is intended to establish a selective overview of the relevant legal framework. It aims not least to serve the fintech and blockchain companies themselves, their clients, and the interested public as an information base or reference and to contribute to greater clarity with regard to the applicable legal framework. Clarifying the need for action: The report is intended to show specifically where, in the eyes of the Federal Council, there is a need for legal action in the short (and possibly medium) term and where there is currently no need for adjustments. In this way, the report aims to contribute to a better orientation for all stakeholders. Achieving signalling effects: The Federal Council is using this report to emphasise that Switzerland demonstrates openness toward technological developments such as blockchain, and that the Swiss legal framework is already as of today suited to deal with business models based on blockchain.
This Legal framework will change the whole financial sector of Switzerland, as investment in this technology is expected to develop and grow the economy of the country. Therefore the Federal council is preparing this framework for any potential changes that may occur in the future development of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

2018 Liechtenstein Government Consultation Report and the Draft-Law on Transaction Systems Based on Trustworthy Technologies (Blockchain Act) The government of Liechtenstein adopted a consultation report on a proposed Blockchain Act of August 28th 2018. The main goal of the Blockchain Act is to reduce the potential reputational risks for Liechtenstein and its clients, but also to clarify the legal requirements for activities related to blockchain system. According to Prime Minister Hasler, "As a State, we must consistently improve our framework conditions for businesses to ensure our prosperity and attractive jobs for the next generation". He also states that “The Blockchain Act is intended to create precisely this legal certainty”. This shows that the government is intent on investing in the future of blockchain technology in Liechtenstein. The government is also planning to create different rights that will increase the assets that can be represented on the blockchain system as the token on the economy forming a basis of further services. The Switzerland and Liechtenstein as a Global Blockchain Hub The integration of Switzerland and Liechtenstein into the blockchain ecosystem and industry has made these two countries a global blockchain hub. In Switzerland, the flow of knowledge between entrepreneurs, startups, public authorities, politicians and developers in and around Crypto Valley has boosted the growth and development of blockchain technology within the country, making the country the leading blockchain technology implementer around the world. Nationalization of the crypto currency by Switzerland will make it the world’s first “Crypto Nation”, a nation with cryptocurrency involved in all its exchanges. Moreover the framework established by government bodies such as the financial regulator as a guideline to the companies, startups and different organizations will boost the growth of the country economy and the rise of Blockchain technology advancement in the country. Meanwhile, blockchain technology has been a subject of much political attention within Liechtenstein. The royal family has emphatically supported the development of this industry as the future of the country. As Prince Alois states: “Blockchain will change a lot of things. It could even make our state more efficient in the way it is administered.” This is also evidenced by different meetings arranged by the royal family to support the development of the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) industry. Liechtenstein’s population is another big reason to why it can become a global blockchain hub, it allows the government to quickly discuss and legislate the use of the currency that will favor the indigenous blockchain industry. The other factor is because they are members of European Economic Area. This gives them an opportunity to use the currency and have wide range of economic growth by using this technology. As it is among the first countries to practice the blockchain system, this is an opportunity for them to enter the market and introduce the exchange activities that will grow the country economy dramatically.

Thanks to the decentralized nature of the Swiss system, the innovative attitudes of many politicians and the financial climate, Switzerland continues to lead the way in blockchain innovation while at the same time contributing to the growth and development of distributed ledger technology (DLT) industry in Liechtenstein. Both Switzerland and Liechtenstein are looking forward to becoming the first and biggest hub on Financial technology around the world, and also the implementation of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). We can see that both the government, Public sectors, different institutions and companies are focused on using the technology to develop different ways of doing not only transaction but also improving the working system of their firms. At Crypto Finance Conference 2019 the dominating issue was the regulation and the direction countries should take (protection of property, security, best-practice standards and international harmonization), as well as the no-go areas for Blockchain regulation. The Swiss lawmaker Ruedi urged for international cooperation on regulation, while Blockchain adviser Loretta Joseph said that “regulation was a way of promoting a location as a place to do business. Smaller countries such as Malta, Mauritius, Switzerland and Liechtenstein had a chance to excel with a good regulatory environment.” This innovation will bring changes within the economy of the country, and so far Switzerland has proven to be the pioneer of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) due to highest number of its companies and different institutions or private and public sectors using the technology. On the other side Liechtenstein is not left behind because its government created a special working group that was developing the “Blockchain Act” that is expected to be favoring the growth of the many companies and firms. This will boost the economy of the country due to the fact that the Cryptocurrency might be the future of the exchange activities and processes under the Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). As we can see the "Blockchain will change a lot of things. It could even help make our state more efficient the way it is administered", said Liechtenstein’s Crown Prince. Not only that but also He stated that “he is interested in the way blockchain, the ledger technology which underpins bitcoin, could be used as a way of improving administrative tasks in the country.” All these statements concludes that the government of Liechtenstein has looked upon the development of Financial technology with a big eye that will help improve and develop not only their country but also will conquer the biggest part of other countries economies. In General, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are so far among the leading nations on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) implementation and the biggest number of its public and private sectors are involving the technology on the daily bases activities with great achievements.

Chapter II: Switzerland and Liechtenstein Governments: Key Statements and Development Strategies
Blockchain industry in Liechtenstein
38
Liechtenstein is a small country situated on the banks of the Rhine in Central Europe, between the Swiss canton of St. Gallen and the Austrian province of Vorarlberg. The country is well known for its activities, basically the Business-friendly legal framework, unique foundational law and low taxation. For many years Liechtenstein has been growing on professional financial industry, with more than 700 licensed investment funds and 100 licensed assets management companies. The Liechtenstein assets under management of its banks had an estimation of around US$235 billion at the end of year 2016. Due to cryptocurrency and blockchain-based products Liechtenstein financial market has opened a door for innovation and development of different ideas that has helped many companies and enterprises growth. The cryptocurrency and blockchain space in Liechtenstein is still in early stages compared to Switzerland and its neighboring countries. A report by Tages Anzeiger states that “an increasing number of companies rejected by Swiss banks are now tending towards neighboring Liechtenstein”. Bank Frick has been recognised as the leading space in the crypto and blockchain space due to its growth and contribution to over two dozen of ICO projects that established traditional bank accounts on the pipeline Including corporate clients, such as cryptocurrency mining groups, brokers, exchanges, traders, and ICOs, the bank has been estimated to have an approximate 200 number of clients in the crypto and block chain space. In August 2018 Liechtenstein’s Union Bank announced a plan to issue its very own security tokens, and became “the first fully regulated bank” to introduce this system around the world. Union Bank has set a future plan of becoming the world's first “blockchain investment bank” and “a one-stop crypto and blockchain solution provider which embraces and integrates the new world of blockchain technology and crypto assets and the best practices of traditional banking.” The above plan was set due to Liechtenstein Crypto Assets Exchange (LCX) and Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume, announced a new crypto-to-fiat exchange backed publicly by the prime minister. The new Liechtenstein-based exchange, dubbed Binance LCX, will support trading between the euro, Swiss franc and major cryptocurrency pairs.

Liechtenstein’s new Blockchain Act
39
The Government of Liechtenstein has created a new law that recognizes and protects the potential of blockchain technology for its economic growth. The Ministry for General Governance Affairs and finance has published the consultation report on new blockchain Act that was released on August 2018 focused on financial service providers in the country. The new law has been created to strengthen the the legal certainty for users and service providers in order to further promote the positive development of the "token economy" in Liechtenstein and, at the same time, to protect the reputation of the country. The government has decided to regulate not only the current Blockchain-applications, but also to establish a legal basis for the entire scope of application of the token economy according to a long-term approach, which should also meet the needs of future generations. In summary, the draft Blockchain Act (VTG) contains the following provisions, among others as presented from PWC in Switzerland: ● Subject and purpose: The purpose of the law is to protect users, to ensure confidence in digital transactions and to describe the rights and obligations of service providers who perform activities on VT systems. ● Trusted technologies: Trusted technologies (VT) are technologies that guarantee the integrity of tokens. ● Definitions: The law contains a number of definitions, including the term "token". A token is described as an information on a VT system that embodies justifiable claims or membership rights against a person, rights to goods or other absolute or relative rights. ● Rights of disposal: A disposition is defined as the transfer of the disposition authorization on the token. The holder of the "Private Key" has the power of disposal. As a principle, the buyer of a token is protected in his right of disposal by virtue of good faith, even if the seller was not authorized to dispose of the token. ● Requirements for VT service providers: A natural person may only perform any VT services if he/she is reliable and capable to act. For legal entities, the members of the management must also be reliable. In addition, VT service providers must have a clear organizational structure, internal control mechanisms and a minimum capital of CHF 100,000. ● Basic information on the issuance of tokens: The issuance of tokens requires the prior publication of the legally defined basic information (e.g. information on tokens, rights, technologies used, purpose description, risks, etc.).

Liechtenstein’s blockchain ecosystem
40
Crypto/Blockchain ecosystem in Liechtenstein has been growing daily due to examples/contributions driven from the neighboring countries such as Switzerland by its impressive strides made by crypto valley in Zug. From the above reason Liechtenstein has been mentioned to be a most preferred destination for companies to locate their businesses interested in crypto/blockchain management. In 2017 September the country regulator and the Financial Market Authority issued its first opinion on ICOs with the comment that Liechtenstein is still on the early stages of its blockchain ecosystem. The report has also shown that only five ICOs have been registered and launched in the country with only $37.5 Million, with three of them still on going. In March The prime minister Adrian Hasler (Liechtenstein is a constitutional monarchy) made an announcement of pending legislation and catapulted the country into a position of increased global awareness within the crypto industry. The “Blockchain Law,” as it is known, would seek to give crypto companies regulatory and legal predictability as well as enable access to traditional fiat-based banking services. Liechtenstein’s law, should it pass, would have many benefits for blockchain companies, including helping them overcome KYC (know-your-customer) and AML (anti-money laundering) hurdles so they can effectively integrate with the traditional economy. The Blockchain Act, as explained on the Liechtenstein-based Crypto Nation site, will provide a legal basis for: ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Security Tokens: the tokenization of any possible asset (movable and immovable, rights, securities etc.) Ownership of digital assets; Transfer of ownership of digital assets; Safe storage of digital assets; Legal requirements for storage of digital assets; Several levels of licensing for business providers in the Token Economy; Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Token Sales, and Token Generation Events (TGEs).
The government, in collaboration with the private sector, is seeking to create an ecosystem that is friendly and enabling the blockchain companies to regulate the speed that makes a difference within and outside Liechtenstein.

House of Blockchain
41
Co-working spaces have increased and helped the development of small companies and startups in different part of its operations, thus in April 2018, Mr. Yanislav Malahov the Aeternity founder and the “Godfather” of Ethereum, started an initiative of artenity, an open source, Blockchain-based distributed computer platform that aims at attracting the block-chain focused business looking for development and growth in this scale. This initiative will be a co-working space that will provide opportunities for companies and blockchain startups growth in Liechtenstein. Aeternity is a new platform for decentralized applications that focuses on increasing the scalability of smart contracts to off-chain. House of Blockchain will support teams and startups developing decentralized applications with guidance and support from industry experts. One of the first projects to move into the space is Chainium, an equity crowdfunding platform. The launch of House of Blockchain comes in line with Liechtenstein’s desire to become a blockchain hub. In the early 2018, Liechtenstein’s crown prince said cryptocurrencies were “something to look into more into the future,” but admitted the principality does not currently have the “internal expertise to do that [invest] directly.” Mr. Adrian Hasler the Prime Minister of Liechtenstein has welcomed 160 attendees with the speech on the opening of the House of BlockChain by explaining that “He is pleased to see the blockchain ecosystem thriving in Liechtenstein, a country that supports the growth and innovative business models quickly emerging from the technology. He acknowledged that with flourishing innovation comes a need for strong support from all regulatory bodies and in Liechtenstein, the Government firmly believes in the potential and the many use cases that blockchain technology brings.” Ten projects had joined the House of Blockchain Coworking Space as the part of the HoB initiative by May 2018. Projects such as Chainium, the equity network that allows business owners to sell equity in their business in return for capital from investors; Light 47, SmartToken, Upvest and Weeve, a global network that enables the commercialization of the IoT in the sharing and data economy; also TV-TWO, a blockchain-based open platform for a decentralized television ecosystem and DORIUM, a social-economic system creating, rewarding, and financing social and environmental impact.

Opportunity and challenges for Liechtenstein
42
Government, Investors and other companies has so far worked hard and invested to place Liechtenstein as a global hub for crypto innovation and growth. Yet, numerous challenges exist. The competitive landscape for jurisdictional crypto-startup arbitrage is intensifying. Comparing to its neighbors, Liechtenstein is facing a competition from Switzerland due to its strongest international crypto brands as a country even though it may be moving slowly on its growth on this industry. On the other side countries such as Malta, Gibraltar, and Singapore are working hardly to grow their cryptocurrency towards the development and growth of their Economy. The country's resources are very low due to its population, this gives less advantage to the countries value proposition. The less the human resources the less the productivity because its not benefiting fully from the advantages of the resources they have. This affects also the most dedicated and passionate crypto-enthusiast that are forced to leave and seek for direction from other places or countries. The ideas and opportunities exist in the country, but due to the challenges faced Liechtenstein will be harder to get on the top-tier. There are problems that might be delaying the passage of the Blockchain law but this affects the crypto-startups that are looking to domicile and begin operations quickly in this “land grab” phase of the market’s evolution. However, following an official statement from Mr. Thomas Weidmann, Head of Communication at the Government of Liechtenstein, most crypto-insiders are confident the bill will be enhanced and ratified as originally planned. In short, the commitment is still there. In conclusion, drawing an example from other countries such as US, there is the risk of no product-market fit. For example, there was a lot of collaboration in the US for equity crowdfunding, from the bipartisan JOBS Act, to three years’ worth of rule-making with the SEC, to the private companies that helped write the law and run the crowdfunding services. When all was said and done, equity crowdfunding hasn’t seen the level of usage that was predicted. ICOs appear to have replaced that vision. In general, the work put into equity crowdfunding delivered little in return for the huge amount of public resources and time that went into it. Therefore. whether Liechtenstein becomes a crypto power player remains to be seen, but many in the private and public leadership of the country are committed to making a go of it.

The Swiss government

The Swiss government is aware of the need for technology friendly regulation. The Swiss government wants to prevent that cyber currencies would be used for illicit activities, especially given that Switzerland dominates the market for the cross-border management of private wealth, therefore Swiss ICOs are obliged to follow strict anti-money laundering procedures. ● By removing some uncertainty about its legal framework, Switzerland hopes to encourage ICOs ● FINMA made it transparent and clear for ICO market participants in Switzerland, how they will deal with their enquiries regarding the supervisory and regulatory framework ● Guidelines result in more certainty for ICOs which is valuable in the process of offering new tokens. ● Although no obligation to make an enquiry at FINMA, it makes a company more trustworthy and therefore more attractive to investors. ● ICO regulations are like Swiss financial regulation principle-based, rather than rule-based. FINMA considers all cases individually ● Zug (Cryptovalley) is a very popular city for ICOs. Established in Zug are for example Ethereum, Bancor and Tezos. The Swiss Federal Council announced in 2016 plans to reduce barriers for market entry for FinTech companies. This led to the implementation of a so called “Sandbox” in August 2017. ● The Sandbox is an experimental space, a gap in the bank regulation. It enables investments in a company for which under usual regulations a bank license would be required. ● To the limit of CHF 1 million, public deposits are allowed to be accepted without a license, provided that they are not invested and do not bear interest (FINMA, 2017). ● The sandbox is optional to everyone. It is attractive to FinTech startups/companies. It offers startups/companies the option to experiment with few money. It offers the opportunity to test if their idea works.

Swiss blockchain voting platform
44
In the period between June 25 and July 1, Zug was able to do a trial on his blockchain voting system that was launched in june 2018 so that could be used to cover the public votes in the future. On his trial he took a non-binding questionnaire soliciting opinion on whether people like to see fireworks at the annual town festival and similar low-key issues. The purpose was to try the system and see if there are any bugs it might have on its operations. Zug mayor Dolfi Müller made it clear that “the town could in future make more use of the blockchain technology that stores and distributes data in a decentralised manner. But before the Zug authorities can seriously consider widening blockchain voting, it first had to pass the trial.” Müller believes that “blockchain offers enhanced security over other e-voting systems, including better protection against hacks and misuse of personal data.” The system also promises to better preserve voter anonymity by granting users complete control over their vote data and the opportunity to erase the trail of their personal voting preference. There will be an access on the system via Zugs blockchain eIDas it was set up in November 2017, so far 240 users have registered and all other voters who will register after will be able to set up their own eID during the trial period. So far the system has been used for Zug’s blockchain bicycle hire and library service. The Zug vote was developed with help from Lucerne’s University of Applied Sciences and Artsexternal link and Luxoftexternal link, an international IT firm that operates out of Switzerland. Luxoft also announced that it plans to form a Swiss ‘Blockchain for Government Alliance’, an organisation to develop and promote blockchain applications for governmental bodies. The alliance would put ideas into the open source domain to allow people to test code and offer improvements. A new system from Lausanne’s Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) claims to provide a tamper-proof method for conducting e-voting. Researchers say that “the EPFL blockchain system guarantees both the anonymity of voters and a secure digital method of casting and counting votes.” EPFL says that “ it will make its system available to the public on open source via its Center for Digital Trust (C4DT) platform” Also in June 2018, the government stated that “ it wanted to enshrine e-voting into law as an alternative to paper ballots. The cabinet had previously set a target of having e-voting in at least 18 of Switzerland’s 26 cantons by October 2019.”

Crypto Valley Association
45
Among the Swiss-based not-for-profit associations supporting the development of blockchain and cryptographic related technologies and businesses, Crypto Valley Association, was launched with a number of leading companies and startups as members, including ConsenSys, UBS, PwC, Thomson Reuters, Luxoft, Canton of Zug, and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Crypto Valley Association is the independent, government-supported association established to take full advantage of Switzerland’s strengths to build the world’s leading blockchain and cryptographic ecosystem, working with government to foster the development of pioneering digital technologies in Switzerland and internationally. The association will support startups and established enterprises through policy recommendations, initiating and enabling research projects, and organizing conferences, hackathons, and other industry events. Crypto Valley Association is drawing venture capital, private equity, media, established IT firms, universities, and young startups. Network effects include attracting a highly skilled labor force and developing a rich ecosystem of resources and know-how for entrepreneurs and established players. Founding members include: PwC, Luxoft, UBS, ConsenSys, Thomson Reuters, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Lykke Corp, Monetas AG, iprotus GmbH, Inacta AG, bacademy, Canton Zug, Lakeside Business Center AG, Lakeside Partners AG, Leon Partners and the City of Zug. As well known Switzerland is one of the world’s leading countries for digital innovation and a home to hundreds of multinational enterprises, technology companies, and financial institutions, the country boasts world-leading infrastructure, a sophisticated workforce, and one of the world’s most decentralized, stable and neutral political systems. In January 2018 the Crypto Valley Association announced the launch of a Code of Conduct for Initial Coin Offerings (ICO). The main reason of launching this code is to act as framework that will guide ICOs on proper conduct, taking into account all legal, moral, and security obligations. Among other reasons, the Code calls on all organizations running an ICO to be fully transparent about all details pertaining to the process. Its highly recommended that these details should be disclosed in a manner that can be easily understood even by those that are not technologically sophisticated. This includes being clear about how funds raised are intended to be used and how the token will function, as well as providing a clear risk assessment for the underlying technology.

The Sovereign Money Initiative
46
The Swiss popular initiative 'For crisis-resistant money: end fractional-reserve banking' (Vollgeld-Initiative) was put to a vote in a national referendum on 10 June 2018. The initiative called for the introduction of a sovereign money system in Switzerland. Both the Federal Council and the Swiss parliament opposed the initiative, as did the SNB. In the referendum just 24.3 per cent of voters supported the Vollgeld, or “sovereign money” initiative, which would have stripped banks of their ability to “create” money when giving loans to consumers and businesses. The result came as a relief to the Swiss National Bank, the central bank, and others in the country’s finance sector. Thomas Jordan, chairman of the SNB, said during the referendum campaign that the Vollgeld initiative was “an unnecessary and dangerous experiment” that would damage the Swiss economy. Responding to the outcome of the referendum, the central bank said a Yes vote would have made its work “considerably more difficult”. The Vollgeld plan would have abolished “fractional reserve” banking — the basis of financial systems around the world, under which only a fraction of deposits held by banks on behalf of customers are backed by notes and coins or banks’ deposits at the central bank. In addition, the SNB would have had the authority to allocate central bank money to the government — or even directly to the public. Advocates of the idea argued that this would have made Switzerland’s financial system safer by reducing indebtedness and preventing boom-and-bust credit cycles. They also argued that money was a “public good,” which should be controlled by a state institution such as the SNB. Opponents of the Vollgeld initiative, including Switzerland’s main political parties, had argued that it would rip up a well-tested financial system that encouraged economic growth and had been significantly strengthened over the past decade. Under Switzerland’s system of direct democracy just 100,000 signatures are required to trigger a referendum, meaning the affluent Alpine economy has often served as a test of public support for radical ideas. Vollgeld supporters could take some comfort in winning a higher share of the vote than the 23.1 percent won two years ago by campaigners for the introduction of unconditional “basic incomes”.

Switzerland’s President Ueli Maurer
47
In August 2018 Ueli Maurer engaged in a discussion with local financial authorities and financial institutions because he acknowledged the emergence of competitors in the fintech and cryptocurrency space, which could overshadow the efforts of Switzerland if companies move out of the region. “Switzerland will be leading the way in blockchain development and use-cases.” “Switzerland doesn’t need new special regulations for blockchain. But we will have to amend six existing laws, to include this new technology, that will impact many industries in the future”. Maurer stressed the need to create as soon as possible favorable conditions for a growing industry in Switzerland: “London is already further advanced than we are, and centers like Singapore and Shanghai are fierce competitors.” “We belong to the leading Blockchain locations worldwide. We want to remain this lead with creating the right kind of environment.” Ueli Maurer
In September 2018 Maurer revealed that he was developing a report aimed at establishing an in-depth look at various methods of blockchain regulation and factors that influence implementation of the technology. The report and related recommendations were submitted in December 2018 with the possible result of facilitating the Swiss legislature’s approval next year which will then ultimately lead to implementation by 2020. On December 5th, Maurer was elected by Swiss parliament for one-year term in 2019. Given his track record and liberal views on fintech regulation, Maurer’s election is considered a positive development for Switzerland’s expanding crypto industry.

Liechtenstein’s Prime Minister Adrian Hasler

In 2018 Liechtenstein’s prime minister Adrian Hasler told Incrementum partner Mark Valek in an exclusive interview his vision regarding blockchain technology and explained the following: “Liechtenstein’s openness towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is part of a broader goal to maintain Liechtenstein’s quality of life for the future and to preserve as well as create new jobs. Our aim is simply to be very open to innovation. We already took up the subject of innovation in the last legislature meeting, and we have already implemented appropriate measures with the Liechtenstein impulse program and want to incentivize the financial sector to innovate, too.” Hasler expects the Blockchain Act to have “a positive impact” on Liechtenstein’s financial center as it will make it easier for banks and other financial intermediaries to deal with blockchain technology. “We are already seeing that banks, trustees, and lawyers are very interested in our draft and see great potential for new business models. In the meantime, various companies from the fintech sector have already settled in Liechtenstein. We have noticed that a new ecosystem is emerging in Liechtenstein that will certainly continue to grow.” “Blockchain can serve as an important base for a variety of economic applications, covering not only payment transactions but broader financial solutions, industry use cases and general applications. We observe a remarkable, globally oriented, and well-educated scene that is very much involved in the advancement of blockchain technology, and we believe that we are only at the beginning of an exciting and long-term development. We have dealt with possibilities and risks associated with blockchain in the past. We view some opportunities here but also certain challenges for all economic sectors, especially the financial sector. It is important for the state of Liechtenstein that the government and authorities deal intensively with the consequences in practices to be able to treat companies fairly and competently. We aim to actively accompany this development. “

Liechtenstein’s Princes on Blockchain
49
In March 2018 the Crown Prince of Liechtenstein said that his family is considering investing some of their $5 billion fortune in cryptocurrencies. Crown Prince Alois Philipp Maria told CNBC that investing in cryptocurrencies can help bolster the royal family’s fortune: “Particularly this whole new digital economy, it is something to look into more into the future. I think particularly the whole blockchain technology is very interesting … blockchain will change a lot of areas, a lot of businesses in the future. I think the attractive elements of blockchain technology could be used to make the state more efficient in the way it’s administered.” In an interview from August 2018, Prince Michael of Liechtenstein (Chairman of the industrial and financial Kontor Ets., a leading Liechtenstein trust companies in the field of long-term and cross-generational wealth preservation; founder and Chairman of geopolitical information and advice service Geopolitical Intelligence Services AG; and Board of Trustees President of the liberal think – tank European Center of Austrian Economics Foundation ECAEF) shared his opinion on blockchain:
Crown Prince Alois Philipp Maria
“The Blockchain technology interested me since the beginning. It has very large potential to increase productivity and efficiency, in particular in the areas of logistics and production. The Blockchain property rights hold interest to me. Blockchain may, in particular, to make the public administration, but also the banking system much more efficient. The Liechtenstein government is working on a Blockchain-law and is taking on a pioneering role. Crypto-currencies based on the Blockchain technology and Liechtenstein discussed the possibilities already in a very early stage. Also, like using the Blockchain technology, the establishment of property rights and incorruptible can be simplified. In addition, the vehicle register, land registers, etc. can be switched to Blockchain technology”.

Zug is home to more than 400 crypto businesses and its mayor, Dolfi Mueller, has presided over a policy of accepting Bitcoin to pay for some city services. Starting in September 2017, Zug will offer digital identity services through a new application which connects a person’s ID with a particular crypto-address. Local citizens can register and get verified by City officials. “We didn’t know anything about Bitcoin. We didn’t know anything about blockchain. And so we invited a student who explained us the difference between these things. We started [accepting Bitcoin for government services] two years ago, now we have about 50 or 55 payments or more. And it’s just Bitcoin. We want a single electronic identity – a kind of digital passport – for all possible applications. And we do not want this digital ID to be centralized at the city, but on the blockchain." Swiss Federal Councillor Johann Schneider-Ammann said that the future would require further tech talent and education to play a role. He noted, during the Crypto Valley Conference that: Dolfi Mueller
“For that we need to put even greater emphasis on digitalisation and technology in schools. We need more IT specialists not to mention Blockchain experts. We need more research projects and professorships in this field. We are working on that, step by step. The funding released by the Federal Council of 216 million CHF for the action plan on digitalisation in education, research and innovation 2019-2020 is only the start”. “We must shape this new world together — with optimism and boldness, but also with prudence and consideration. If we succeed, blockchain can provide new opportunities, new jobs, new levels of security and new prosperity.“

The country’s Federal Council issued a report in December 2018 providing a legal framework for blockchain, stating that Switzerland’s existing rules are well suited to dealing with such new technologies, but there is still a need for some amendments. The Council has proposed an amendment to the country’s securities law to increase the legal certainty of crypto tokens. The Council wants to segregate crypto assets from the insolvent debtors’ total estate in bankruptcy proceedings. The Council has proposed the creation of a new “authorization category” for infrastructure providers in the blockchain sector, and will make amendments to its Financial Market Infrastructure Act accordingly. Regarding the country’s Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Council said the legislation is currently adequate enough to also cover activities related to cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs). Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) introduced a new fintech license with “relaxed” requirements that is applicable to blockchain and cryptocurrency-based firms.

In August 2018 the government of Liechtenstein adopted a consultation report on a proposed Blockchain Act. The Consultation Report proposes amendments to the Due Diligence Act. The due diligence obligations serve to combat money laundering, organized crime, and terrorist financing. The Consultation Report includes token issuers, TT protectors, physical validators, TT custodians, TT identity service providers, and TT exchange office operators among the persons subject to the due diligence requirements. The goal of the Blockchain Act is to take advantage of the potential of blockchain technology, create legal certainty for market participants, protect users of blockchain technology from potential abuse, and reduce potential reputation risks for Liechtenstein. Blockchain Laws Liechtenstein which was published in June 2018, aims to erase the existing risks in the area of Cryptocurrencies, provide legal certainty and security however without imposing undue limiting restrictions and therewith provide a reliable framework for an entire economy of digital and digitized assets.

Civil law and insolvency law about Crypto and Blockchain
53
From a civil law viewpoint, two types of token can be distinguished. First, there are tokens which primarily represent a value within the blockchain context, e.g. cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoins. According to the prevailing view, these tokens are purely factual intangible assets. Civil law imposes no requirements – and accordingly no obstacles – for their transfer. Consequently, there is no need to adapt civil law with regard to the transfer of cryptocurrencies. The second category of tokens covers those that represent a legal position (claim, membership, right in rem). As per the users' intent, these tokens should fulfil a function similar to the function presently and traditionally fulfilled by securities. Since an entry in a decentralised register accessible to interested parties can create publicity similar to the ownership of a security, it seems justified to attach similar legal effects to this entry. The Federal Council is proposing an amendment to securities law to increase legal certainty. The proven principles of securities law should be retained as much as possible. Digital representation and transfer is therefore possible only for those rights which could also be represented by a security and which are freely transferable. The planned legislative amendment should enable the legally secure transfer of uncertificated securities by means of entries in decentralised registers and be designed as technology-neutral as possible. The Federal Council also recognises the need for legislative action regarding insolvency law. In the course of bankruptcy proceedings, the assets of the bankrupt debtor are collected and realised. In the process, it is regularly necessary to clarify what is to be included in the debtor's assets. This question arises particularly if assets to which the debtor is economically entitled are deposited with third parties and if the debtor has power of disposal over assets to which third parties assert their rights. In the latter case, it has not yet been conclusively clarified whether it is possible to segregate crypto based assets. The Federal Council thus considers it necessary to provide for unambiguous rules regarding the segregation of crypto-based assets from the bankrupt's estate by analogy to the owner's right to segregation under current law. Such a right would require in any case that these assets could be unambiguously allocated to the third party. Additionally, the Federal Council considers it necessary to examine whether a right to segregation should be created with regard to data without financial value. As part of the planned consultation, the Federal Council will thus propose a legislative amendment that addresses these issues.

Financial market law

Blockchain and DLT-based applications can have numerous points of contact with financial market law, specifically banking law, financial market infrastructure law, collective investment schemes law, insurance law and the future Financial Services Act and Financial Institutions Act. The objectives of financial market law – such as the protection of the functionality of financial markets and customer protection – are as relevant for the activities of DLT/blockchain companies in the financial sector as they are for all other financial players. The Federal Council currently sees no fundamental issues regarding financial market law that specifically concern blockchain/DLT-based applications and would require fundamental adjustments. Swiss financial market law is generally technology-neutral and able to deal with new technologies. However, targeted adjustments in individual areas appear sensible: ●

In banking law, the Federal Council – in the light of the aforementioned proposed amendment to the Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act – will examine a corresponding adjustment of bank insolvency law provisions (particularly in the area of the segregation of custody assets) and submit any adjustment proposals in the planned consultation. In financial market infrastructure law, the Federal Council is proposing the creation of a new authorisation category for infrastructure providers in the blockchain/DLT area. Furthermore, related amendments to the Financial Market Infrastructure Act and the new Financial Institutions Act are to be proposed with the aim of creating more flexibility in order to better meet the requirements of blockchain/DLT applications. The Federal Council currently sees no need to amend the Financial Services Act (that will enter into force at the start of 2020) due to blockchain/DLT. The designated requirements, for example for informing customers, are particularly relevant for financial instruments based on blockchain/DLT, as such financial instruments are innovative and sometimes difficult to value, and they can experience very sharp fluctuations in value. In terms of collective investment schemes law, the Federal Council instructed the FDF in September 2018 to prepare a consultation on amending the Collective Investment Schemes Act by mid-2019 in order to allow for a new category of funds (so-called limited qualified investment funds, L-QIFs). As a result, new innovative products could be placed on the market more quickly and cost-effectively in the future. Apart from that, the use of blockchain/DLT in the area of collective investment schemes law is still at an early stage, which is why the need for action cannot yet be conclusively assessed. In the insurance sector, many blockchain/DLT projects are currently in their infancy. So far, no need for action in terms of financial market law has become evident, but a conclusive assessment is not yet possible. The Federal Council will continue to follow these developments closely.

Combating money laundering and terrorist financing
55
The interdepartmental coordinating group assembled the 2018 risk analysis on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism (CGMF)/ that presents information related to identified threats and vulnerability of Switzerland. The process of money laundering and terrorism financing has been associated with crypto based assets that creates the risk of its uses. This affects the whole country in all activities related to blockchain technology and the use of the crypto currency. Even though the risks have been identified, still the analysis shows that due to small number of cases in Switzerland the risk can not be predicted. The Anti-Money Laundering Act is currently sufficiently technology-neutral to also cover activities related to cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs) to a large extent. The general principles of the Anti-Money Laundering Act also apply to crypto based assets. The activities of most players in the crypto sector already qualify as financial intermediation and are therefore subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act. The scope of the Anti-Money Laundering Act is thus already relatively comprehensive by international comparison. Consequently, the Federal Council does not see a need for a fundamental revision of the Anti Money Laundering Act specifically with regard to crypto based assets at present. At the moment all the non-custodial wallet providers and some trading decentralized platforms for crypto related assets are not subjected to Anti-Money Laundering Act. The financial action task force will address internationally all the challenges arising in general connection to this context. Against this backdrop, the Federal Council is currently refraining from proposing that non-custodial wallet providers be subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act. In contrast, in order to increase clarity for market participants, the current subjection of decentralised trading platforms to the Anti-Money Laundering Act should be anchored more explicitly in law and the possible subjection of other such platforms should be examined in the light of international developments. Switzerland will continue to play an active role in the competent international bodies to ensure that a globally coordinated and effective mechanism for combating the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing is achieved by means of international standards.

Principles of the Swiss regulatory approach to blockchain and DLT
Targeted adjustments of the well-proven framework
Bottom-up approach The preferences of the market and society should decide which technologies prevail, while policy should ensure optimal and innovation-friendly framework conditions.
Switzerland should not fundamentally question its proven and balanced legal framework, but should make swift and targeted adjustments if needed where there are gaps or obstacles with regard to DLT/blockchain applications.
Generally technology-neutral approach
Legal certainty, clear rules, and combating abuse
Switzerland should continue to pursue a principle-based and technology-neutral legislative and regulatory approach, but allowing exceptions where needed. The rules should be as competitively neutral as possible.
Switzerland should position itself as an attractive location for blockchain companies through legal certainty, efficient regulation, and a good reputation. Fraudulent or abusive behaviour as well as the use of innovative technologies to circumvent financial market regulation will not be tolerated.
Bottom-up approach Swiss authorities should position themselves as open towards new technologies and innovations such as blockchain and DLT and cultivate regular dialogue with the industry.

Directions of development of Switzerland
Tax environment the further development of the fintech and blockchain ecosystem in Switzerland depends on an attractive tax framework
Electronic identification (E-ID) Another key element for the further development of digital business models, whether for typical online business or for DLT-based activities, is the creation of a state-recognized electronic identity, also called E-ID

Government Consultation Report and the Draft-Law on Transaction Systems Based on Trustworthy Technologies (Blockchain Act) (Liechtenstein)
Introduction
59
On 28th August 2018 the government of Liechtenstein adopted a consultation report on a proposed Blockchain Act. With this, the country intends to provide greater legal certainty for users of blockchain technology and support the positive development of the token economy. The Government considers the potential of blockchain technology to be “very high” and wants to support the development of the token economy in Liechtenstein. The new Blockchain Act – for which the consultation report has been adopted – is to provide greater legal certainty, improve client protection and reduce potential reputation risks for Liechtenstein. The legal classification of elements on blockchain systems is a key focus of this planned law. It will introduce a new construct under the term token to “enable the transformation of the ‘real’ world to blockchain systems while ensuring legal certainty, thereby opening up the full application potential of the token economy”. Clear rules are also being set out to counter abuse in the application of this technology. There is currently legal uncertainty regarding business models on blockchain systems that are not covered by financial market legislation but nonetheless carry out activities that are very close to the financial sector. The new law also aims to define the minimum requirements for these activities. The proposed Blockchain Act applies to all trustworthy technologies (TT) service providers, unless the TT system is available only to a closed user group. The Consultation Report states that the term “trustworthy technologies” was chosen as a technology-neutral term to encompass a wide range of technology options instead of the narrower terms ‘blockchain” and “distributed ledgers.” Furthermore, technology-neutral terms ensure that the law will not be outdated after a few years and only have a limited scope. The Consultation Report uses the word “tokens” to describe all types of technical implementation methods of the blockchain technology, even if the system does not actually use a “token” to implement it. For selected TT service providers, in particular token issuers, token generators, physical validators, TT custodians, and TT protectors, the draft Blockchain Act sets out additional requirements and establishes a duty to register with the Financial Market Authority of Liechtenstein (FMA). Because of the enormous potential of the “token economy” for large parts of the economy, the Government wants with this Law to increase legal certainty for users and service providers to support the positive development of the token economy in Liechtenstein. By doing so, the Government is also responding to the needs of market participants for greater legal certainty in connection with TT systems.

The development of FinTechs has accelerated sharply in Liechtenstein in recent years as well. While almost no applications for authorisation were submitted to the FMA by FinTechs in 2014, the number of applications has risen exponentially in recent years. The Government and the Financial Market Authority created the “regulatory laboratory” in 2015 in order to support innovative companies in matters related to authorisation and supervision. This approach has proven itself in several respects: While traditional financial services providers usually have clarity about the regulated activities they seek to undertake, with FinTechs it is usually not clear how and whether they are regulated, as this often depends on the specific structure of the business model. By engaging in an in-depth dialogue with participants, the FMA gains valuable knowledge and is able to determine where there is room for improvement in the current regulatory environment. In 2017, the FMA was in contact with some 100 FinTechs. Many of these companies have some connection with blockchain technology. While the initial focus here was on payment transactions, the focus has of late shifted towards developing new crypto-currencies in various fields of application, e.g. project financing for the development of a new generation of blockchain. These are usually grouped together under the term “initial coin offerings” (ICO), although they can have very different structures, which affects their financial market and tax classification. The dialogue with market participants revealed very early on that blockchain posed several fundamental questions that had to be clarified in order to ensure legal certainty. For this reason, the Ministry for General Government Affairs and Finance convened an internal expert group in 2016 that looked at the issue of blockchain technology. The expert group concluded that the significance of blockchain based transaction systems went well beyond current applications. From the expert group’s perspective, blockchain has the potential to significantly change large parts of the economy and thus the financial sector. At the same time, they determined that practical regulation would greatly increase legal certainty for all participants and thus favour the development of this innovation. For this reason, the expert group proposed a regulatory concept that the Ministry for General Government Affairs and Finance has adopted in this draft.

Liechtenstein Government Objectives
61 61
To create “regulatory laboratory”. The regulatory laboratory functions as a contact partner for innovative companies in order to assist them with the approval process.
To increase the openness of the government and the authorities towards innovation and new technologies, together with an in-depth dialogue with the practical field, have proven very successful in recent years.
To create a legal basis for the much broader scope of application presented by the token economy. The aim of this approach is, firstly, to ensure that a new law does not have to be written for every new application and, secondly, to create legal certainty for the many cases that are only now beginning to emerge in practice, but which are likely to develop in the near future.
To address new business areas and the technology at an early stage in order to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves in this regard, as well as to reduce the risks discernible today from the point of view of the users and the state.

Nicolo Stöhr is the CEO of the Crypto Finance Conference, one of the world’s most exclusive investor conference about cryptocurrencies and blockchain investments, with events in Switzerland the US and Japan. The Crypto Finance Conference (CFC) has proven itself as an important platform and gathering for serious investors and blockchain enthusiasts. After the development of a strong relationship between the two companies, PwC and CFC entered into a strategic partnership for future conferences. “For our first anniversary conference in St. Moritz, we have so many requests from the speakers. that we could fill another 3 days with great content. We bring together the right people from different backgrounds, all of whom are committed to doing serious business in this emerging industry. I am proud to be able to organize an important event like this here in the Swiss mountains and contribute to Image of Switzerland as a global center for blockchain developments". On the second implementation of the CFC in collaboration with PwC, Nicolo said: "Over the last year, Dr. Guenther Dobrauz Saldapenna has been adding tremendous value to all of our events with his insightful keynotes and speeches. We are proud to now take it a step further and kick off a strategic partnership with PwC at our next conference in St. Moritz. We are also looking forward to the knowledge transfer in the form of content and live appearances by him and other key PwC experts, which will first and foremost benefit the participants of our conferences.”

Thomas Zeeb of Swiss leading stock exchange SIX told Reuters on November 14th, 2018 that: “The existing system could be completely replaced by the digital exchange in about 10 years. The moment that brokers, banks, insurance companies and big asset managers really see the cost advantages [of blockchain], they’ll move relatively quickly.” “I’m absolutely convinced that digital assets, as well as a digitalisation of existing assets, is going to come a lot faster than the 30 years it’s taken derivatives to be everywhere. It will go in maybe five years”. Swiss start-up investor Daniel Gutenberg, who has earned a reputation for picking the right technology companies, believes the emerging blockchain industry is several years away from attracting traditional venture capital. Thomas Zeeb
“I think the whole idea of blockchain is great and is definitely here to stay. There is no doubt that the whole idea of cryptocurrencies, of securities traders on the blockchain, will be a success. It’s just very difficult to evaluate which companies are going to reap success.” Asked in an interview with swissinfo.ch if will Switzerland continue to earn its nickname of ‘Crypto Nation’, Gutenberg said: “If we play our cards right we can have the same global reputation for crypto as we now have for banking. We currently have 500-600 blockchain start-ups and a lot of talented people coming in. Our main problem used to be attracting the right CEOs. But they are coming to Switzerland now so there is no reason why we should not have some interesting blockchain unicorns in the near future.”

Bernegger, a Swiss-born serial entrepreneur focused on financial technology, shared his view on why Switzerland is a cryptocurrency heaven waiting to happen: "We have a unique federalistic system that sees the national state — that is, the federal states and its individual counties — compete against each other. This is very healthy for an efficient and transparent government. Additionally, our direct democratic system gives a lot of power to the people, so politicians and their parties have far less influence than in most other democratic countries." “Lichtenstein, Gibraltar, and Malta are doing a good job, but they're latecomers when it comes to blockchain-related regulation. Switzerland is still ahead of the curve, and this is backed by hard numbers like money raised via ICOs." Proxeus and BlockFactory AG co-founder Antoine Verdon stated: "Without any legislative change, we demonstrated that traditional paper-driven, highly iterative processes can be transferred to the blockchain securely and effectively. Our workflow increases efficiency and dramatically lowers costs. Small business may not be able to implement blockchain-based processes immediately, but those that started their learning curve early will have a clear advantage, and the laggards will eventually disappear. The goal of Proxeus is to provide a sandbox where everyone can come and test how their business can be run in a blockchain context. Blockchain will bring a whole new wave of efficiency and trust. It will transform traditional business models in the same way as Internet has transformed commerce and communication.
Marc Bernegger
Our goal is to make blockchain technology more accessible. We want to make it possible for anyone to create their blockchain applications without requiring specific technical knowledge. The XES token connects our users in a decentralized ecosystem, without the need for us to stand in the middle of every transaction.”

Switzerland’s academia
66
In September 2018, all 126 students passing the “Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptoassets” course of the University of Basel received certificates registered on the Ethereum mainnet blockchain. This marked the first time that a university in Switzerland secured the authenticity and integrity of an academic certificate on a blockchain. Prof. Dr. Fabian Schär, Managing Director of the Center for Innovative Finance said: “This blockchain solution developed in cooperation with Proxeus greatly improves the process of verifying documents and represents an important step towards forgery-proof academic certificates. Two tools have been created — one that the university staff can use to create the certificate and register it to the blockchain with its unique hash, and a second, public tool which allows anyone to verify that the electronic document has been issued by the university.” “Fraud is a problem in academia just as it is in any field. By registering credentials on an immutable, decentralized ledger, we provide an extra layer of security for graduates and potential employers. These credentials can’t be faked, and can be easily verified online. It will introduce a new paradigm of security and offer value to all parties. Everyone involved benefits from this approach. Employers can easily check diplomas and educational institutions minimize the risk of damage to their reputation. Perhaps most importantly, the graduates themselves benefit from greater credibility, which increases the standing of their alma mater”. “The University of Basel offers six blockchain lectures and seminars, all of which combine economic aspects with cryptography and computer science. We go deep into the technical details of protocols and programming. In total, over 600 students have already attended blockchain lectures at the University of Basel and we are playing with the idea of launching a special area of specialization for the master’s program. It is a great honor to be able to take the position of professor and I am pleased that I can continue to dedicate myself to the research and knowledge transfer of blockchain technology.”

Switzerland’s think tankers
67
Emma Dawnay, board member of MoMo, the group which proposed the Sovereign Money Initiative stated: "Cryptocurrency and the blockchain does look like where we're heading. It could have been used under the system we were proposing. Blockchain technology could be how the Swiss government could try to bring debt free new money into the economy. Despite the vote losing the Swiss central bank is looking at similar things.” Antonio Gambardella - Fongit Director, a Geneva-based incubator platform, which stands for the Foundation for Technology Innovation Geneva. It is a private non-profit foundation supported by the State of Geneva and the Swiss federal government: “At Fongit we have seen enormous traction with some of our incubated startups and can only be excited to see such development in this area happening in Geneva. We see strong synergies with Fusion and other members of the Swiss Blockchain Association. Particularly we are excited to see the work Fusion will be putting into supporting startups with tokenization and fund-raising as it complements our help for Blockchain startups.”
Emma Dawnay
“Every year, banks spend millions buying paper for credit letters. There are two blockchain projects in Geneva focusing on this; one within the banking system, the other being a company called CommoChain; this is very interesting in terms of how blockchain could be applied to commodity trading.”

Liechtenstein’s visioners
68
Bank Frick’s crypto-expert Mauro Casellini, Head of Business Clients and Payment Service Providers explained: “In recent months, the developments and insights in the area of cryptocurrencies and the underlying blockchain technology have shown the great potential of this innovative technology. However, it has to be noted that investments in cryptocurrencies are speculative and involve extremely high levels of volatility, where, in a worst-case scenario, a total loss is possible.” “You have to view cryptocurrencies as a type of digital cash. This ‘cash’ is held in a digital wallet in the form of complicated numerical codes, for example as a software wallet on a smartphone or a stand-alone hardware wallet. In the past, there have repeatedly been dramatic hacks, where large sums of crypto-money have been stolen. With our extremely defensive approach, our Bank is able to offer a very high level of security in this regard.” The Union Bank of Liechtenstein aims to become ‘Blockchain Investment Bank’ after it revealed its own cryptocurrency. The Union bank has said that the launching of the new UBPC coin is a further step to becoming a blockchain-friendly nation and that the coin will be backed by major currencies such as the Swiss franc. Mohammad Hans Dastmaltchi, the chairman of the BOD (board of directors), stated:
Mauro Casellini
“Our objective is to be the first blockchain investment bank in the entire world and to provide concrete solutions which will help in driving efficiencies, decrease cost base and spring up new income opportunities for our clients and intermediaries equally”. “…As stated, our fiat-backed UBPC (Union Bank Payment Coin) has the perspective to disrupt the methodology for international cross-border and international trade transactions.”

The Crypto Finance Conference 2019
86
Crypto Finance Conference is the World’s most exclusive investor conference on cryptocurrencies and blockchain investment as presented on their official website. This conference brings together the private, public investors and the leading providers of the crypto and blockchain universe to discuss different issues related to the development of Distributed ledger technology. On the 16th to 18th of January 2019 the Crypto Finance Conference took place in St. Moritz, Switzerland, this three days conference covered all investors requirements and offered excellent expert education, investment and special networking opportunities. Comparing to the first Crypto Finance Conference (CFC) of 2018 the second edition was the epic conference that has been done after the first edition. Moreover in the second edition of this conference, The price of Bitcoin was not even discussed as it was last year. And the term «cryptocurrency» has been replaced by «digital assets». The dominating issue at this year's CFC was the regulation and the direction it should take (protection of property, security, best-practice standards and international harmonization), as well as the no-go areas for Blockchain regulation, ie the technology itself.) Germany's ex-Finance Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, spoke of a hidden geopolitical battlefield for global domination, relating to the tokenized economy. He warned investors and Blockchain entrepreneurs that there was one economic power they should look out for: “China”. While “the U.S. does too little and Europe isn't able, the Chinese had understood that the Blockchain technology had created the precondition to achieve economic and therefore geopolitical dominance.” Therefore, the crypto and Blockchain community had to get ready for huge risks: regulation of crypto, Blockchain and artificial intelligence as a battlefield of global powers The Swiss lawmaker Ruedi urged for international cooperation on regulation, while Blockchain adviser Loretta Joseph said that “regulation was a way of promoting a location as a place to do business. Smaller countries such as Malta, Mauritius, Switzerland and Liechtenstein had a chance to excel with a good regulatory environment.” Tech investor and professor Michael Sung believes that the global run for regulation is already over, with the winner being China. He said that “the reason why China had taken to such drastic steps were capital flight and terror financing. But now, China has been quick to prepare the ground for the tokenized economy. The Communist Party has established several special areas where Blockchain applications can be tested, compared and selected for wider use.” “The development of the necessary regulation is being advanced at a rapid pace. China is working on the crypto-renminbi. The China coin will come” Sung emphasized.

Chapter V: Main Trends in the Industry
Swiss blockchain industry
88
Switzerland ranked 1st in being the most crypto-friendly country in Europe in 2018. The Swiss blockchain sector continues to grow: over 600 companies and institutions are now located in the ‘Crypto Nation’ and neighbouring Liechtenstein. According to the investment group Crypto Valley Venture Capital (CV VC) the industry employs around 3,000 people in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, as well as many more abroad. Taken together, the top 50 blockchain companies in Switzerland’s so-called Crypto Valley employ some 440 staff domestically, are worth an estimated $44 million (CHF43.7 million), and hold in excess of $2 billion to spend on research and development. Much of that funding has come from initial coin offering (ICO) crowd investing programmes in which the public can buy digital tokens that grant them access to blockchain platforms. Liechtenstein has also been added to the directory as the principality has a close connection to Swiss blockchain firms and is increasingly described as an extension of the Swiss Crypto Nation. The directory has expanded from just 350 blockchain entities in April, which demonstrates the scale and speed of growth in the industry in the last 18 months. The blockchain sector’s potential long-term impact on the Swiss economy has also not been lost on regulators and politicians, who have been busy putting together a legal and regulatory framework to allow the new technology to thrive. The term ‘Crypto Nation’ was coined by Swiss Economics Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann during a conference in St Moritz in January 2018. Switzerland offers very favourable locations for blockchain companies and has a very blockchain-friendly environment with a lot of knowledge. The way Switzerland is open for experimenting with blockchain, for example in Zug, “Crypto Valley”, and the way Switzerland is regulating ICOs are a worldwide example. This makes it worth looking into the possibilities of the Swiss blockchain market.

A high blockchain knowledge level; The position of blockchain is at the start of the implementation phase; Zug (Crypto Valley) is home to many international blockchain projects from all over the world; Guidelines for ICOs; Possibilities for startups to experiment with few money in the so called “Sandbox”; The cantons offers excellent services to their citizens and the business area.
Blockchain in Switzerland will have the most impact in the near future on the sectors: ● ● ● ●
Financial services; Insurance; Logistics; Healthcare.
The most attractive regions for blockchain related activities in Switzerland are: ● ● ● ●
Zug; Zurich; Geneva; Lugano.
The Swiss Economics Minister said in the beginning of 2018: “It does not need to stay with Crypto Valley, it should become the crypto-nation.”

Financial services
90
The financial sector is an enormous important sector in Switzerland. Switzerland has a very good reputation. Zurich is also known as ‘the financial centre of the world’. Switzerland is a leading FinTech hub. Zug, better known as “Crypto Valley”, is a city in Switzerland with a very friendly FinTech climate. In this city it is possible to pay with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. A lot of important FinTech companies and developers are established in Zug. The financial sector also contains a lot of international companies: around 85 foreign banks are established in Switzerland Banks in Switzerland are participating in blockchain technology. Falcon and Swissquote offer bitcoin investments to clients. Banks in Switzerland are cooperating with FinTech companies instead of competing with them. Just like banks in Liechtenstein, some regional banks and online banks like Swissquote are offering ICOs to companies decided on a case-by-case basis. The Swiss FinTech sector has been growing in the past two years. This becomes clear in figure 3. In 2015 there were 162 FinTech companies, in 2016 190 and in 2017 220 (Ankenbrand et al ., 2018). Figure 3 shows in which FinTech product areas (Analytics, Banking Infrastructure, Distributed Ledger Technology, Deposit and Lending, Investment Management and Payment) most of the Swiss FinTech companies are active. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority is actively supporting the emerging FinTech sector since late 2016 and has become more active in the area of blockchain driven business models and ICOs since 2017. Furthermore, FINMA launched a FinTech Desk for questions in the areas of FinTech and cryptocurrencies, where ICO organisers could make a requirement to see if their ICO is subject to existing financial market regulation. Switzerland is extremely sensitive to anti-money laundering rules. This has become even more urgent since the international pressure on the Swiss financial sector. Switzerland has strict regulation in place to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. The Swiss government wants to prevent that cyber currencies would be used for illicit activities, especially given that Switzerland dominates the market for the cross-border management of private wealth, therefore Swiss ICOs are obliged to follow strict anti-money laundering procedures.

Switzerland improving access to banks
91
In an effort to maintain its status as a cryptocurrency hub, Switzerland has taken steps to help blockchain companies access the traditional financial system by making it easier for them to open corporate bank accounts. Faced with an exodus of cryptocurrency projects from the country due to falling access to the banking sector, the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) issued guidelines to banks who may want to do business with the startups. Around 530 blockchain startups have settled in Switzerland’s Crypto Valley hub around Zurich and Zug. The companies need access to traditional banking services to deposit cash, pay salaries and carry out other day-to-day financing activities, but Swiss banks fear falling foul of anti-money laundering (AML) rules and other regulations. Only a handful of Switzerland’s 250 banks ever allowed companies to deposit the cash equivalent of cryptocurrencies raised in digital fundraisers known as initial coin offerings (ICOs). The banks are worried because some of the companies that carried out ICOs did not do AML checks on their contributors, meaning the banks themselves could fall foul of AML rules. The new guidelines spell out separate checks that the association recommends when opening accounts for blockchain firms that carry out ICOs and those that do not. The outline recommended know-your-customer and AML checks for ICOs that raise funds in fiat currencies such as Swiss francs, euros and dollars, and those that raise funds through other cryptocurrencies. The rules should help banks understand what assessments they should carry out, but will also help blockchain and cryptocurrency firms know what information they must provide, and what measures they must take, to qualify for an account. While initial discussions with the banks have been positive, according to SBA Deputy Chief Executive August Benz, it remains to be seen how they will respond to the new guidelines.

Healthcare
92
The Swiss healthcare system is the second best healthcare system of Europe, according to the Euro Health Consumer Index (Health Consumer Powerhouse, 2017). For three reasons (Switzerland Global Enterprise, 2016): ● Highly trained medical professionals. ● Internationally famous hospitals. ● Top medical institutions. Innovation is key to keep guaranteeing this status. A possible way to innovate is using blockchain technology. ● Healthcare company Novartis recognized the added value of so-called smart contracts. A smart contract is a blockchain application. Smart contracts are agreements between two parties that are registered on the blockchain (Bachmann et al., 2017). ● Organization Swiss Digital Health is a digital healthcare platform. Its aim is to connect the digital health community to improve the global healthcare system. Swiss Digital Health cooperates with companies that are working with blockchain technology in the healthcare sector, like for example the Swiss company Digipharm, a blockchain platform for fair pricing in healthcare. ● Expert Karafiloski (2017), who is project manager at the Swiss software company Netcetera, spoke on the Deephealth Conference in October in Zurich in 2017. She expects that Blockchain will change the healthcare system completely. ● ‘Blockchain for Healthcare’ in Zurich is active in this topic and organises meetups. The Swiss healthcare sector has a very good reputation worldwide. The country contains 108 hospitals and 181 specialized clinics in 2014 (Switzerland global enterprise, 2016).

Anti-Money Laundering Standards for Digital Assets
93
In October 2018 the Switzerland-based Capital Markets and Technology Association (CMTA) has published new anti-money-laundering (AML) standards for digital assets and distributed ledger technologies (DLT). According to CMTA, the newly-published standards are designed to “ clarify [...] measures to be taken in order to comply with the Swiss regulations against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.” The document is split into two parts, the first of which outlines compliance standards for digital asset issuers, whether or not they formally designate themselves as Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs); the second addresses Swiss banks, securities dealers, and other intermediaries who may wish to enter into business relationships with digital asset issuers or investors, or whose business practices involve “a material exposure” to digital assets and/or DLT. Notably, the standards are not statutory and do not have formal regulatory status, yet CMTA states they “represent a consensus” among financial sector experts as to how good practice should be established and conducted in the emerging digital assets space. CMTA outlines that the guidance has been developed on the basis of a range of legislative frameworks, including the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance (AMLO), FINMA's Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance (AMLO-FINMA) and other laws for Swiss banks’ code of conduct and due diligence requirements. As well in October Swissquote announced it had become “the first bank worldwide” to offer purchase and custodial services of ICO-issued tokens for clients. CMTA is a non-profit, independent association established in Geneva in the early 2018 with the aim of promoting the adoption of DLT, such as blockchain, and digital assets in the financial markets. Its creation was a joint initiative from online bank Swissquote, market software provider Temenos, and the country’s largest law firm Lenz and Staehelin.

Consortium of Swiss Investors Launch Blockchain Incubator
94
In September 2018 Switzerland-based consortium Crypto Valley Venture Capital (CV VC) has launched a blockchain incubator with a $100 million goal. CV VC has reportedly launched its initial incubator dubbed “Genesis Hub” in the canton of Zug. The Crypto Valley Association was founded as a government-backed consortium in March 2017, with the aim of “supporting the development of blockchain and cryptographic related technologies and businesses.” Currently, the incubator includes 20 blockchain startups, though it plans to eventually fund 60 new companies per year. As part of the initiative, approved startups will complete CV VC’s three-month kickstart program, with $125,000 as seed funding, while the most auspicious projects will receive later stage financing. Additionally, startups will be provided with support and mentoring from the consortium’s technology consultants. The company’s long-term goal is reportedly to open doors for 1,000 blockchain companies around the world each year. In return for CV VC’s financial support, startups will have to give it a stake in their business of up to 8 percent in the form of shares or digital tokens. The ambitious plans of CV VC also involve establishing similar incubators in other countries and developing a global network in the coming years. CV VC co-founder Mathias Ruch said that “blockchain technology is a global phenomenon so we could expand anywhere in the world.” Moreover, Ruch believes that Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) along with Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) will facilitate the creation of a new model of financing for young companies. Switzerland was ranked the second “most favorable” country for ICOs, per a survey compiled by analysts associated with the Crypto Finance Conference in July. The research was based on publicly available data of the top 100 ICOs by country in terms of funds raised, and ranked them by the number of projects launched.

Tech Trends 2018
95
In “Tech Trends 2018” report from 2017, Deloitte analysed the eight most important technological trends and their potential impact on business, as well as their effectiveness and development. A lot is expected of Blockchain, particularly in conjunction with other technologies such as the Internet of Things. These and other trends may be very helpful to companies and organisations over the next two to five years with regard to transformation. Blockchain is unique in this regard, as the technology is geared specifically to the reliance on trust between market participants. Many companies competing in markets that are being turned upside down by technology innovation are no strangers to discord. Today, digital reality, cognitive, and blockchain—stars of the enterprise technology realm—are redefining IT, business, and society in general. The trends such as digital, cloud, and analytics, are now embraced across industries. Meanwhile, more recent trends, such as autonomic platforms, machine intelligence, and digital reality, continue to gain momentum. Powerful technologies—including quantum computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and additive manufacturing—are ushering in new and competitive risks and opportunities, and businesses often struggle to keep up with them.

3 Trends Driving Switzerland’s Wealthtech Industry
96
In Switzerland, wealthtech is the most crowded segment with 60 ventures, the sector is twice as large as the Swiss blockchain and cryptocurrency space with 30 companies, and is 3 times the size of the payments sector which counts about 20 companies, according to Swisscom’s monthly Swiss Fintech Startup Map. ● Incumbents driving innovation. Swiss banks and wealth management firms have been at the forefront of the wealthtech revolution, quickly understanding the importance of leveraging cutting edge technologies including AI and machine learning to better serve customers. While a few financial institutions have opted to build in-house wealthtech solutions, a large proportion of wealth managers and banks have chosen to partner with wealthtech companies. Such partnerships include for instance digital wealth management provider True Wealth with Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank, personal financial management platform Contovista with Raiffeisen Bank, and Descartes Finance with Deutsche Asset Management. ● Rise of the hybrid advisor. Hybrid advisors, which combine the best of both human and machines are promising. In a hybrid model, customers have access to digital tools that facilitate self-investing, but also can tap into human advice on a periodic basis, or as necessary. Wealth management platforms such as Evolute Group from Switzerland provides clients with the best of both worlds. The company offers an integrated platform for independent wealth managers and banks that covers the entire wealth management. Its wealth management core features include innovative modules such as portfolio construction and hybrid advisory functionality. Evolute’s advise for the Swiss Asset Managers and Banks: The focus have to shift more to THE clients. They should focus on less tasks, offers the right reporting tools, show the client individual products and have to be all the time compliant. ● Cryptocurrencies: a diversification tool. For many insiders, Switzerland should focus on becoming a wealthtech hotspot and eventually build up a specialty for crypto-token asset management, rather then becoming a pure cryptocurrency hub. An example is Swissborg, a crypto wealth management startup based in Lausanne. Swissborg raised CHF 50 million in an initial coin offering in early 2018 to fund the development of its suite of services which will include a computer dashboard, a cryptocurrency exchange and a robo-advisor platform for investment in cryptocurrencies. Another notable venture is CryptoRealEstate, the company behind SwissRealCoin. CryptoRealEstate uses blockchain technology to facilitate investment in real estate by tokenizing properties.

On May 3rd 2016, The Municipal of Zug had a meeting that decided to launch a trial basis project that started on 1st July on piloting the use of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin as a method of payment for the government services. This was a result of the introduction of blockchain technology to Businesses in Switzerland during the year of 2016. The cryptocurrency, Bitcoin way up to a value of CHF200 ($205.8 or 0.44 XBT) was adopted as payment for the standard services provided to or by the government. Around 15 companies specialised in blockchain technology and uses Bitcoin on exchange were hosted in 2016 by the self-appointed “crypto valley” of Switzerland. Mr Dolfi Müller the mayor announced that “Zug is open to exchanging ideas with such companies”. This is because its leadership would like to be the leading example on Fintech or as a hub for financial technology sector within the region. Moreover in January 1st 2016, FINMA revised its Anti-money Ordinance for businesses dealing with new payment methods and virtual currencies. Regarding virtual currencies, the authority equated them with money-transmitting services. Then, in June 2016, 24 members of the Swiss Parliament proposed a motion to reduce the regulatory burdens of blockchain startups. The motion, aimed at defining the term ‘client deposit’ from banking bills, was rejected in early August, implying that FINMA, Switzerland’s financial watchdog, would consider blockchain and bitcoin startups as being qualify as banking businesses, according to a report by Startupticker.ch. According to a report by Michael del Castillo at Coindesk in June 2016, two members of the Swiss Parliament’s Federal Assembly proposed a total of three blockchain-related motions designed to make it easier for the financial sector to anticipate ramifications of blockchain technologies; “consolidate” Switzerland’s position as a blockchain leader; and make it easier for blockchain startups to hold customer funds without being classified as banks. In July, Nexussquared, a blockchain-focused incubator that aims at “establishing Switzerland as a nexus for blockchain technology.” wrapped up the first edition of nexuslab, a virtual blockchain startup program co-organized with Startupbootcamp Fintech. The event gathered nearly 170 investors, industry experts and journalists. On September 13th, the Finance 2.0 Crypto ’16 conference in Kunsthaus Zurich welcomed industry experts to discuss “how cryptofinance will change the world.” Topics included the use of blockchain technology in art and music, decentralized autonomous organizations, smart contracts, business applications for private and open chains, as well as international settlements using cryptocurrencies.

At the beginning, Franz Grüter, the Swiss Parliament member, resisted the government’s requests to kill his motion, which would have changed the definition of a bank to make it easier for cryptocurrency companies to open in Switzerland. In August, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) finally convinced him what they were working on would amount to a real impact on blockchain companies and so on. Grüter called this new breed of company a “crypto-bank,” and since he rescinded his own motion to change the law, he pledged his support to these new financial entities. Following the recommendation of Zug, Switzerland-based lawyer Andreas Glarner and the Switzerland Bitcoin Association founder Luzius Meisser, Grüter opened his first bitcoin account and began to experiment by purchasing the cryptocurrency. Just days after Swiss rail operator SBB announced it would begin offering bitcoin via its ticket kiosks, Switzerland’s Federal Department of Finance (FDF) published the first details about the project. Revealed in early November, the so-called “FinTech licenses” were granted by FINMA with capital requirement as low as CHF 300,000, or 5% of the accepted public funds. The day before the FDF published the license details, FINMA released a corresponding document that helped lay the framework by redefining corporate governance guidelines for banks. Specifically, the document instituted the proportional application of certain regulations, “leaving institutions free to implement the requirements in a way that takes account of their differing business models and of the particular risks associated with them.” FINMA defined its strategic goals for the four years beginning in 2017. The document explicitly mentions a “pro-innovation approach to supervision and regulation, and tackling newly emerging risks,” as among the regulator’s top priorities. Switzerland’s Federal Council has instructed the FDF to complete a draft of its legislative amendments by the beginning of next year. According to Grüter, behind all these changes is nothing less than a total shift in the way Switzerland views cryptocurrency startups. Since Grüter opened his bitcoin account with BreadWallet, he said he’s mostly just focused on how to buy the digital currency and track its price changes. But over the coming months, he expected to make his first bitcoin purchase using the wallet. Already, the canton of Zug had voted to accept bitcoin for payment of certain government services, with further evaluation by the end of the year. At the end of 2016, an analysis of the trial scheme was made and decided if it wants to continue with accepting digital currency payments in the future. Since 2016 it’s possible to buy Bitcoin through a train ticket machine in 1,000 locations around Switzerland. The system was introduced in November of 2016 and it allows those with a Switzerland phone number and a QR wallet to purchase cryptocurrency from the automated kiosks.

On the 1 February 2017, the Federal Councils of Swiss had a meeting that initiated a move towards amending the country's Banking Act and Banking Ordinance to ensure that any obstacles that the market entry for Financial Technology companies are reduced and that the competitiveness of the Swiss financial centre is enhanced. The Blockchain (R)evolution – The Swiss Perspective White Paper was published in February 2017 by Deloitte. The White Paper’s aim is to help promote the development of Blockchain in Switzerland and to encourage dialogue between entrepreneurs, service providers and all other parties with an interest in Blockchain. In 2017 the city of Zug in Switzerland announced that it is the first community to offer all citizens of the city the opportunity to get a blockchain-based digital identity. The process of formulating an “E-ID-Gesetz” (law for E-ID) started in 2015 and has the goal to provide electronic/digital means of identification for everything from online shopping to e-government use. Zug, being a global HUB for blockchain technology, is also known as “Crypto Valley”. Due to a very open minded government it attracts blockchain companies from all over the world. Their digital identity works with an app in which citizens can register their identity, which is then verified by the Citizen Services Department of Zug. In August of 2017, Swiss Economy Minister Johann Schneider-Ammann visited “Crypto Valley” in Zug in order to learn all about blockchain technology and meet many of the top startups in the area. Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer also took a trip to visit fintech firms in Zug and Zurich. The goal of this visit was to learn more about developments in blockchain technology so that the Federal Council could propose the necessary regulatory adjustments. There is a new Blockchain Task Force commission that is focused on accelerating adoption of these innovations. The task force is led by the economics and finance ministers and their aim is to review blockchain guidelines which have been issued by the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters.

Also, a government-backed nonprofit in Switzerland has published a code of conduct for ICO conductors. The Crypto Valley Association aims to bolster the cryptocurrency and blockchain industries in Switzerland and asks ICO operators to tell investors how money that is raised in a token sale will be used. Also, the CVA asks ICOs to share information about how their token works and the risks associated with them, in language that is understandable to people with an average level of technical experience. In May 2017 the Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) of Switzerland published an eleven page document outlining their guidelines and regulations for initial coin offerings. The aim of this document is to define the principles for ICOs so that they can be as clear and straightforward as possible. The guidelines also define what information FINMA needs in order to deal with these enquiries and the principles on which it will base its responses. For example, the guidelines state that FINMA will treat some of the tokens sold during initial coin offerings as securities. If they are considered “asset tokens”, there will be securities law requirements when trading them. When FINMA released its annual report for 2017, it said that out of the 453 enquiries it received last year, 60% of them were focused on cryptocurrency, blockchain, smart contract applications and ICOs. This is a 3 times increase compared to the data from 2016. Not only is Zug the headquarters of many blockchain startups, it’s also starting to use blockchain technology in its operation. It’s actually the first municipality in the world that accepts tax payments in bitcoin. Accounting firm Ernst and Young announced in 2017 that it will be digitizing itself and it will become the first advisory firm to accept Bitcoins for its services. Clients will now be able to pay invoices from the firm in bitcoin. Employees now have digital wallets and there will also be an ATM for Bitcoin in the main building. EY are a major player in the blockchain ecosystem of Switzerland. They are a founding member of digitalswitzerland, which is an initiative for innovation that is widely supported by several sectors. They were also one of the sponsors of the FinTech satellite of the WorldWebForum 2017 in January in Zurich. In addition to this, they have set up a research partnership with the ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen that is all about Redesigning Financial Services.

In early 2018 the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters (SIF) established a blockchain/ICO working group in collaboration with the Federal Office of Justice (FOJ). They were charged to review all legal frameworks and identify any need for action with FINMA and the blockchain sector itself working closely together. In particular, a need for action was identified within civil law to deal with the: transfer of tokens, their treatment under insolvency law and the creation of new opportunities in the area of financial market infrastructure. The working group had to report to the Federal Council by the end of 2018. In December 2018 the country’s Federal Council issued a report providing a legal framework for distributed ledger technology (DLT), or blockchain, stating that Switzerland’s existing rules are well suited to dealing with such new technologies, but there is still a need for some amendments. Firstly, the council has proposed an amendment to the country’s securities law to increase the legal certainty of crypto tokens. The council also wants to segregate crypto assets from the insolvent debtors’ total estate in bankruptcy proceedings. Further, the government body has proposed the creation of a new “authorization category” for infrastructure providers in the blockchain sector, and will make amendments to its Financial Market Infrastructure Act accordingly. Currently, the council has not yet proposed any specific changes, as the central definitions of the terms “securities” and “derivatives” in financial market regulations are also relevant for blockchain-based business models, it said. Regarding the country’s Anti-Money Laundering Act, the council said the legislation is currently adequate enough to also cover activities related to cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings (ICOs). “The general principles of the Anti-Money Laundering Act also apply to crypto-based assets.” it said, adding that there is no need for a “fundamental revision” at present. The Swiss government has been working on blockchain regulations since 2016, when the country’s Federal Department of Finance outlined its plans to regulate fintech. Later in early 2017, the council itself was seeking consultations on regulatory changes for the domestic financial industry to account for fintech including blockchain. Switzerland’s Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) introduced a new fintech license with “relaxed” requirements that is applicable to blockchain and cryptocurrency-based firms.

Procivis Procivis is a Swiss venture founded in 2016 by blockchain entrepreneur Daniel Gasteiger. The company is developing an “e-government as a service” platform to enable the digitization of societies and the provision of online public services across the globe. Procivis has presented its proof of concept for the secure delivery of public services using blockchain technology in January 2017 and is raising seed funding. In January 2017 Procivis had come out of stealth mode to present its proof of concept for a blockchain-backed e-government platform at Microsoft public sector digitization practice day in Bern. To design its services, the company collaborated closely with Estonian e-government experts. Procivis was launched with the aim to develop and offer an “e-government as a service” solution that draws on Estonia’s leading experience in the field, combines it with the strengths of emerging blockchain technology and builds on Switzerland’s trusted values. While e-voting was being presented as one possible application to make use of Procivis’ secure digital identity management, the platform will be designed to run a government-curated app store that can offer the full range of public administration services, including tax filings, land registry or commercial registry. Along with its proof of concept, Procivis is presenting a study coordinated by Prof. Dr. Alexander Trechsel of Zurich-based consulting firm Xupery, which draws a comparison between the evolution of Switzerland and Estonia as digital societies over the past twenty years. The study highlights the necessary elements for a successful implementation of e-government applications and addresses issues often associated with low user adoption rates. According to the report, the successful delivery of digital public services begins with full political support for enabling technologies, relies on the fostering of strong public-private partnerships to develop efficient and user centered services in an iterative manner and, finally, requires a clear strategy and timeline to introduce digital identities for every citizen.

Skillchain Skillchain is the definitive protocol where universities, companies and non-academic training companies meet to certify and guarantee skills of a person in a permanent way. This ultimate protocol of certification will be made available to universities and non-academic education companies to store data such as diplomas, e-learning courses, and in-class personal development training programs. This is set to become the most secure way to store personal data which can only be accessed by its owners or by people they have authorized to do so. Primary and secondary schools, career paths, e-learning platforms, non-academic training courses will be some of the data stored in one simple key sequence that can be used by job seekers or people in search of that perfect employee. But there is more. This Protocol will be, finally, the key to globalize all the skills, the past jobs and to certify all the academic and non-academic paths in the world. Thanks to the Protocol everyone will get a personal profile which certifies their academic credentials, participation in non-academic training courses, their skills, previous work experience and recommendations received. It will be user-friendly, quickly accessible, and subject to the profile owner’s desire for privacy. The goal of the project is to build a fully certified resume, with data coming from the source of the skills (schools, universities, training and employment companies) and are written indelibly and eternally on the blockchain. The LSP will be written in ethereum technology on the blockchain: this cryptocurrency technically provides the ability to create its own “private ledger” where to store the skill data with the skillchain protocol. This creates a private environment where the skills database is written non-editable and forever. These data will then be available for research of specific skills worldwide. The protocol and the “private ledger” in a second phase will be made available for use also outside the Skillchain platform to facilitate its diffusion.

Pulchram Pulchram’s mission is to help solve the problem of global ageing populations by breaking with the traditional approach of today’s organizations involved in elderly care. Pulchram applies proven innovation to construct housing which will yield radical cost savings. Added to this, Pulchram will provide quality in-house facilities, apply modern technical innovation aids, use top new IT systems, offer organic and healthy food, will create joyful and tight communities of residents in their homes, and make sure people stay active and engaged in society. Because Pulchram wants to serve citizens from the age of 55 and students, the range of homes comprises assisted living (senior home), community living – the young with the elderly, and a nursing home equipped to provide comprehensive, high quality care. The community homes will be mostly suitable for deployment in and near cities, and where housing problems for students are imminent. The combination of young people with senior citizens creates a win-win situation with the young needing affordable housing, and the elderly longing to stay in contact with society. The construction of the three types of homes (senior, community and nursing home) is based upon a dry building method. The three and five storey buildings have a steel core skeleton. The steel core is made of hot rolled high tensile steel and is galvanized to prevent corrosion (of extra importance in coastal areas) and additionally protected with fire retardant paint. The buildings are prepared in a factory, shipped from the factory and transported to the building plot. Expected building times will be around five to seven months. The building will be fitted with the HVAC and electrical/mechanical installations on-site. Prior to erecting the prefabricated structure, the plots will be prepared with a suitable building foundation. A separate care foundation will be tasked with ensuring the Pulchram mission - make living meaningful – will be fulfilled. The way the foundation acts is summarized in the following elements. As mentioned above, the care foundation is a completely separate organization with a separate PandL and has its own business case.

Orbi Network ●
Orbi Network believes the next frontier and challenge on both a corporate and workforce level will be peer-to-peer collaboration. The employment market is a very inefficient in many ways, especially when it comes to trusting the other parties. Leveraging on Blockchain technology, Orbi Network believes it can help to create a better, more efficient and trustless environment based on verified and immutable data.
●
Orbi Network aims to redesign the employment market through a blockchain based platform that ensures transparency and verified data for both: Independent workforces (Freelancer) and Companies. Orbi Network is the future of Freelancing platforms: a decentralized "Uber for Workforce" where a network of trusted professionals around the world can have access to jobs, MOOCS and coaching, while build a reputation than they'll own and carry forever and protecting their work with copyright and invoicing tools.
●
Orbi Network delivers a single, global and seamless solution for freelancing based on the cutting-edge, decentralized digital technology of blockchain and smart contracts, all in one intuitive and easy- to-use platform and helps to put the right talent onto the right job.
●
Orbi Network ecosystem is powered by an Ethereum based ERC20 Token that will be used for a variety of purposes such as facilitating the transactions between the members of the network, paying the gas so the users won’t have to download the software, and rewarding and decentralizing the governance over the ecosystem with a quadrating voting system.

Path ●
Path is a decentralized digital certification framework, that certifies education and work experience. The system incentivizes contributors to the system with the use of the PATH utility token (PATH). Path owners take control back of their data from the institutions, as well as relinquishing data responsibilities from organizations.
●
As a Path user, you will take your courses (at Universities, Colleges or online etc.) and once complete, that transcript is issued to your Path blockchain by the institution automatically using the Path API. The Path user then gets their first job, and this experience is also issued to their Path using our APIs. Now both education and work experience are certified. When the Path user applies for another job, the hiring company can pay a fee in fiat, which allows them to query the user’s Path data.
●
This fiat fee is instantly exchanged for PATH and then distributed to 1. The Path Owner. 2. The company they worked for 3. The university that certified their education. This token exchange then allows them to reward their users and partners in a way no other model allows. This means that universities, colleges, course providers, companies etc. will all receive a passive income of PATH for automatically issuing certificates for their users. Whether you’re a Path User, certificate issuer, or certificate verifier, each role receives a PATH wallet.
●
Certifiers can freely integrate with Path for the benefits of decentralized record keeping. The burden of sealing records and handling inquiries is also alleviated by shifting the ownership to the Path users. Prior to a Certifier adding records and approving new Path users they must be verified. Initially this will be done through the Path Foundation. A decentralized bounty system will be put in place to deterministically select existing Certifiers to verify the identity of new Certifiers and insure the integrity of the network and replace the role of the Path Foundation. Path users will be able to rate Certifiers, adding reputation metadata to their account. Seekers will be provided with a full view of all data related to Certifiers to assure them of record authenticity.

Etherisc Etherisc is developing a protocol for decentralized insurance applications. They use blockchain technology to make the purchase and sale of insurance more efficient, enable lower operational costs, provide greater transparency into the industry. The proposed protocol token is an integral part of a decentralized insurance platform. It will have some desirable properties: It will not introduce additional fees. The usage of the token is free, and owners of a token do not receive a revenue from the use of the platform. However, participants can use the token in their profit-seeking enterprises. Therefore, there is no incentive to fork the protocol, as you can’t save costs by doing so. The Protocol is a collection of Smart Contract Templates, Rulebooks, Standards, Best Practices which are developed and maintained by the community. There are many possible governance schemes for such a protocol; they intentionally don’t make a prejudice on which model should be chosen, this will be part of the protocol development. The governance should fit to the participants using it. Of course, meanwhile blockchain offers some interesting tools to formalize governance, but that should be left to developers and users. The platform is the community of all entities which make use of the protocol, and which are connected by a common economic interest. Etherisc is building a platform for decentralized insurance applications. Corporates, large and small, not-for-profit groups and insurtech startups can all come together to provide better products and services across the whole insurance value chain. They aim to use blockchain technology to help make the purchase and sale of insurance more efficient; enable lower operational costs; provide greater transparency into the industry compared to traditional operations; and democratize access to reinsurance instruments. Blockchain can provide the means to disintermediate the market with a peer-to-peer risk platform that helps insurance return to its roots as society’s safety net. They even envisage new groups building their own bespoke insurance risk pools and services on the platform. And Etherisc will be a fully-compliant, fully licensed insurance platform for the emerging blockchain economy.

VouchForMe VouchForMe is a next generation of peer-to-peer insurance based on social proof endorsements, fully harnessing the power of Blockchain innovation. It will serve as a replacement for insurances as we know it and offer a completely new type of coverage for areas of life and business that began to emerge with the evolution of Blockchain and transactions being carried out on the distributed ledger. Based on a personal risk assessment, a guarantor vouches for a trusted friend by means of a financial guarantee. This creates a positive incentive for the friend to act as a responsible insurance client. Through vouching, the entire network becomes more risk aware, encouraging a positive change in behavior. By enhancing trust among peers, it enables the social proof of an individual to be locked into the ledger. Therefore, it can and will self-regulate without the need of an industry-funded regulatory body. This, whilst continuously allowing us to create new attractive solutions, addressing both; the challenges of today and those of tomorrow. VouchForMe users will be able to get vouched for their diligent behavior and save money with it. Whether it is a car, home, or business insurance, we got you covered.

BrikBit BrikBit platform will have its own blockchain managed according to a Delegate Proof of Stake consensus protocol (DPoS), which will be the mutual base of all applications and necessary instruments to manage the value interchange within each Real Estate project. On the BrikBit platform it is possible to create side chains of new projects as well as buy different applications and create “the avatars” of the buildings. All interchanges and purchases will take place using BRIK, the native coin of their Blockchain. Each Real Estate project will be able to create its own blockchain (as a BrikBit sidechain) with its own rules and features, different according to the country and legislation of the project itself. Each different sidechain will be able to have its own independent token, which will not be linked to any activity of BRIK. The first step of the BrikBit project is to develop and spread the awareness of blockchain technology to the Real Estate community. Many key players of the sector are very keen and eager to enter into this very exciting and promising field but have little or fairly no experience and expertise to properly step into the new technology. BrikBit Social Professional Network is a virtual square and meeting point for the whole RealEstate community to move the first steps into the Real Estate blockchain world. BrikBit Social Professional Network is a business-oriented social networking service that operates via WebApp allowing members (investors, industry operators, designers, owners, etc) to create profiles and “connections” to each other in an online social network. The basic functionality of BrikBit Social Professional Network allows users to create profiles, which for companies and professionals typically consist of a page describing their work experience, skills, and a link to their website. The site also enables to showcase specific products or services relating to the professionals involved.

ICOVO ICOVO is the world’s first and only ICO platform that can actualize healthy ICOs. The core of its service is the DAICOVO smart contract, which is based on the concept of DAICO, which was advocated by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in January 2018. Each country’s government is advancing regulation in order to create a healthy environment for ICOs, but this is difficult to achieve for borderless ICOs using only centralized regulation. ICOVO will solve fraud and decrease in project motivation – the problems raised by ICOs – through the decentralized approach of DAICO. With the mission of having all ICOs use DAICO, it will develop and open source DAICOVO, which is aligned with the thinking behind DAICO. In addition, it will issue OVO tokens, which will be specialized as a currency for procuring ICO investments. Ethereum, which has a high distribution amount and is universal, is currently used as the main currency for procurement, but it will provide benefits for ICO investors for using OVO for participating in projects on the ICOVO platform. OVO is the world’s only token specialized for ICO fund procurement. Its value increases the more sound ICOs are undertaken on the ICOVO platform, so OVO will serve as a symbol and index of the health of the ICO environment. In addition to creating a healthy ICO environment with DAICOVO and OVO as its core, ICOVO has as its mission to expand the range of ICO investors and the ICO market itself. ICOVO will solve problems by eliminating barriers to the process of participating in ICOs so that anyone can easily participate. They will be solved through providing ICOVO App (iOS/Android), which integrates the world’s only wallet optimized for ICOs, and ICOVO Web, which will increase usability when participating in ICOs through personal computers. Through the provision of its four services – DAICOVO, OVO, ICOVO App, and ICOVO Web – ICOVO will build an ecosystem for reliable blockchain-related startups.

The products are developed and manufactured in Switzerland and with vested european partners using a trusted supply chain. Flagship products are the Primus HSM used to protect the Swiss banking system SIC and blockchain and crypto assets solutions.
●
A Hardware Security Module is key to generate and store passwords, certificates, and encryption keys. Instead of having this critical information just stored in some file on your network server it is securely locked away in a HSM. So, even if your network is breached and your files are accessed, the most critical information, your passwords, certificates, and encryption keys are protected.
●
Securosys currently offers three different families of HSMs, the Primus S500 and the Primus X-Series and E-Series HSM. The Primus S500 is exclusively used in the Swiss Interbank Clearing System operated by SIX-SIC under the supervision of the Swiss National Bank (SNB). The Primus X-Series and E-Series HSM can be used for any application. When combined with the Decanus remote access device visits to the datacenter can be avoided as most operations can be performed remotely.

Zenum ●
ZENUM, with its Swiss roots, whose mission is to spearhead the development of biometric interaction that facilitates the convenience and integrity of the individual. Enabling the highest level of biometric security – quite simply, by leveraging decades of human identification processes. ZENUM aims at securing the new disruptive class of human identification processes.
●
When a person scans their biometric assets on the sensors of a PoB® (Proof of Body) terminal, a comparison is performed between the body´s biometric assets and the encrypted data of the previously enrolled Biometric templates securely stored in the Blockchain, in order to anonymously authenticate the respective human body.
●
In a situation of an enrolment, the different encrypted 3D Biometric scans of a human body are then crossed to create a unique pattern that represents your physical ID. In addition, a citizen can create a Biometric Gesture pattern in order to create an additional layer of security when asked to share its personal data and therefore create what we can call “a Biometric password”.
●
A simple authentication using your Biometric assets can be performed directly on a certified device, offering an alternative to old fashion and insecure identification assets like Passports and National ID Cards.
●
PoB® allows government and commercial enterprises to establish trust that someone is who they claim to be. With its strong core team, unique technology platform and emerging global partnerships, ZENUM is well-positioned to immediately impact the biometrics market, being the only player in the market to provide such technologies.

Artificial intelligence technology can be a considerable help in assessing and controlling risks. D.A.N.N.I. slows attacks on trading systems by emulating the way humans fend off viruses. The AI-enabled platform embeds in a network and learns what behaviors are normal by using a Usability and Identity Management Algorithm to build an accurate user portrait. The platform monitors habits, user interaction patterns, identity, and engagement rates to understand how the user interacts with the content. If the user's habits radically differ in a particular case, the system instantly red-flags the account to prevent any actions that may allow fraud or loss. D.A.N.N.I. delivers this next generation cyber defense capability through a unique ability to self-learn and identify and flag abnormal behaviors, even when they bypass all other security tools. Working with one of the most advanced trading platforms in the world, D.A.N.N.I. gives customers in this sector unprecedented visibility of all their digital activity and has the critical ability to detect and investigate suspicious activity before damage is inflicted to operations, reputation or the bottom line. Every six months, Bistox Exchange will conduct an audit of its financial statements. The management will engage one of the Big Four firms to review the Company’s processes and all financial information. Furthermore, the Company will welcome any recommendations raised by auditors that would improve its internal processes and controls. Bistox Exchange value transparency in business relations and they set these values as their hallmark.

Swiss Alps Mining and Energy Swiss Alps Mining and Energy (SAE) is a distributed ledger-based energy supplier and an operator of flexible modular mining infrastructures that are intended for long term stationary use. Thereby, SAE preserves the aforementioned unused buildings in the Swiss alps and uses them sensibly and without interference with either building structure or the environment. A sophisticated modular cube system allows Swiss Alps Energy AG to build and implement prefabricated dust-protected mining components on-site. Ideal natural temperature conditions enable easy cooling of the mining facilities, and the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system – still in its project phase – leads to a reduction in energy consumption of up to 50% in comparison to similar installations. The flexible and modular mining cubes provide cutting-edge automation and require little maintenance. The individual cubes communicate with the central management platform, which in turn monitors the cubes and assigns to each cube the optimal parameter in order to maximize mining for maximum profit. SAE will rent out entire cubes or individual mining capacities from the SAM Cubes – while at the same time guaranteeing highly energy efficient and cost competitive mining. SAE will also give competitors and/or individual persons the possibility to rent mining facilities, and the power needed can be paid in SAM tokens. Customers may also purchase cubes for their own use. Companies or individuals who purchase a cube, can obtain the necessary power from SAE and operate the cube on SAE’s premises, or deploy the cube elsewhere. Swiss Alps Energy AG provides the foundation for many future-oriented applications: financial asset custody and transfer, product tracking through blockchain and IoT in logistics and transportation, electronic records in healthcare, and identity management to simplify the KYC process for any conceivable industry are just some examples of how distributed ledger technology can be used. In addition, SAE has developed a sustainable concept to address the disintegration of cultural assets in Alpine areas, while at the same time supporting their economy and digital transformation.

Digital fine art, means any art that is originally created and stored in digital format, most popular are digital photography (basically all photography art created nowadays), digital paintings, generative art, animations, videos, performance, 3D/VR/AR sculptures and many more.
When you buy digital fine art on Orion Vault, you become the owner of the original art file coming from the Artist. ●
You will get access to encrypted high resolution file stored in cloud and you became a legal owner of that file certified by blockchain certificate. This is similar to what you could do with physical painting (just arguably more convenient and safe).
●
You can enjoy the art on your devices (e.g. phone, tablet, computer, digital frames), you can watch it, stream it, in some cases print it (only for specific art and in our partner printing houses that ensure artist’s approved quality) and enjoy it for your private use.
●
You can build up your collection, also you can resell the art to other collectors.

Capital Markets and Technology Association An independent association formed by leading actors from Switzerland's financial, technological, and legal sectors to create common standards around issuing, distributing and trading securities in the form of tokens using the distributed ledger technology. The CMTA aims to facilitate the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the field of capital markets. The CMTA was created with the idea that DLT - and more particularly blockchain technology – has the potential to simplify the financing of companies and democratize their access to financial markets, which is for the time being, essentially reserved for large companies. Currently, the lack of legal certainty and clear standards prevent companies, investors and financial intermediaries from fully exploiting the potential of DLT. The CMTA was established to promote the transparency and reliability needed to use DLT for financing purposes. One of the main objectives of the association is to promote the issuance and trading of traditional capital market instruments such as equity or debt securities in the form of digital tokens. The CMTA also seeks to adopt standards and systematize good practices at the regulatory, accounting and technical levels, in order to facilitate the treatment of digital assets by financial intermediaries.

Center for Innovative Finance The research center "Center for Innovative Finance" (CIF) of the University of Basel is dedicated to the research of practice-relevant questions in the fields of fintech, digital banking and innovative finance. The focus of the research is on the scientific analysis and practical implementation of blockchain projects, innovation financing and innovative financial solutions. With this issue, the CIF is so far unique in Switzerland and makes a crucial contribution in the research and application of future-oriented technologies also in the context of social impact. Great emphasis is placed on a holistic and interdisciplinary analysis. Blockchain technology is being traded as the innovation of the decade. For the first time, it is possible to clearly capture and trade ownership of virtual property without the need for a single central instance - a development that has the potential to fundamentally change the existing payment infrastructure and financial system. Added to this are the as yet unforeseeable possibilities of smart contracts, decentralized applications (DAPPs) and decentralized organizations (DAOs). The CIF explores the potential of these new technologies, exploring how these technologies will affect financial markets, industry and society. In addition to basic research in this area, the focus is particularly on active exchange with politics and the private sector.

International Digital Asset Exchange Council The International Digital Asset Exchange Council (or, in short, IDAXC), is a new international organization which has been created in 2018 to help to find a consensus in the definition of a new set of standards for one of the driving forces of the cryptocurrency economy: the asset-backed token economy. This organization is an international industry body which was reunited with the goal of finding proper solutions for this industry, something that is very needed right now. As the cryptocurrency industry expands, so does the need for regulation and, as this technology is being used all over the world, it is important not to let only the governments decide everything about. The purpose of the IDAXC is to establish policies and a set of guidelines that will enable tokenized asserts to be adopted by the mainstream economy. These guidelines will be discussed with the most relevant members of the industry and of the financial market and this process will help the whole community to simply understand better how to solve all these issues in the most effective way. At the moment, the IDAXC is still not much more than an idea, but it is already working to become relevant in the cryptocurrency industry. The IDAXC will be a non-profit organization and it will fight for the best practices of the tokenized assets in the financial industry. The organization has created three pillars that will support it: policy, education and advocacy.

Their core competencies are mainly in investment consulting, asset management and in the management of external asset managers. Founded in 1932 in Zurich, Maerki Baumann and Co. AG employs around 76 people and manages around 7.4 billion Swiss francs. Today, Maerki Baumann and Co. AG is in the hands of the second generation of the Syz family. The two siblings Hans G. Syz Witmer and Dr. med. iur. Carole Schmied Syz are members of the Board of Directors as President and Vice-President. Their owners have a very long-term, entrepreneurial orientation. Closely linked to this is their conviction that banking can be successfully operated as an independent private bank even under changed and more demanding conditions. The loyalty of their owner family applies both to the history of their bank and its innovative strength. Both are reflected in their philosophy. Values such as independence and transparency play an important role here. Their committed employees, the renunciation of their own products and a very solid equity base create the conditions for this.

Cryptium Labs offers public delegation services to the tokens holders of any of the supported networks.They believe that the future blockchain ecosystem will be characterised by the following properties: The first one is that Proof-of-Stake will be superior to Proof-of-Work to secure the consensus of decentralised systems; the second one is that there will be many heterogeneous chains co-existing; heterogeneous chains will be able to communicate with each other (interoperability). They want to contribute towards that future and believe that the role of validators, like us, is much larger than just offering delegation as service.

Nebula Network Nebula Network aims to be the world’s first cryptocurrency with an emission mechanism based on providing useful electronic resources, and a decentralized cloud. They believe the centralized model is just a hindrance along the way, that arose due to difficulties of the past. Decentralized systems are more robust, and can deliver better performance. Think of BitTorrent.They are also seeing the rise of cryptocurrencies. They embrace decentralization. Nevertheless they face some hurdles on the way to mainstream adoption. One of the bigger problems is the perceived lack of intrinsic value. There is no state with its institutions nor any asset that makes a cryptocurrency its legal tender. Cryptocurrencies that keep the promise of decentralization don't have any backing in gold or any other assets except for brand recognition.

SmartContractChain The cryptocurrency world has changed the way we think about crowdfunding and early-stage investment. Just a few years ago, startup funding involved rigorous screening processes by venture capitalists; today, companies raise tens of millions of dollars with barely more than a whitepaper. It's a great time to raise money, but for investors this comes with increased risk. The regulation-free environment of token sales means that in the event of a mismanagement of funds, early investors have few legal options to turn to in order to recover funds or influence a company's business strategy.
