The Swiss Blockchain Federation, the Crypto Valley Association and the Bitcoin Association Switzerland jointly published a manifesto presenting a complete 12 -point program to strengthen the position of Switzerland as a Blockchain World Center. The document in depth analyzes the current situation, highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the Swiss financial center and draws usable recommendations for decision -makers, regulators and industry leaders. The objective is to secure and expand the competitiveness and innovative capacity of Switzerland in the blockchain and fintech sectors.
A strategy for the future
In recent years, Switzerland has established itself as a leading site for blockchain technologies, thanks to progressive regulatory frameworks, the pro-innovation attitude of the authorities and the close cooperation between politics and industry.
However, this advance is threatened. The countries of Asia and the Middle East quickly catch up, offering increasingly attractive conditions for blockchain companies. Meanwhile, net political change under the Trump administration serves as a awakening. At the same time, slow travel processes, regulatory uncertainties and new international requirements are considered obstacles in Switzerland.
A joint and coordinated approach is necessary to counter this trend and Switzerland to the proof of the future as a commercial location. The 12 -point program of the Manifesto meets this need, providing concrete measures to promote innovation, improve competitiveness and reduce regulatory obstacles.
12 recommendations and requests for policy, government and industry
The manifesto describes twelve specific areas for action which constitute the foundation of a strong blockchain industry for the future in Switzerland:
- Strengthen executives adapted to innovation: Finma should again define innovation as a strategic objective and report on its progress.
- Neutral and proportional regulations of technology: The requirements for crypto service providers and stablescoins must be competitive and clearly differentiated.
- Liaison touraux for finma approval procedures: The license processes must follow a clear structure and be completed within six months.
- Promote digital money: Stablecoins and digital currencies of the Central Bank (CBDC) should lay the foundations for a digital economy.
- Use technology for compliance: Innovative technologies should make compliance processes more efficient and profitable.
- Empower self -regulation: Self -regulation organizations (SRO) should have more flexibility and autonomy.
- Transparent supervision practices: Finma should increase transparency in its supervision role and strengthen its dialogue with industry.
- Remove obstacles to technical investment: Identify and reduce obstacles to foreign investments.
- Clarify waving regulations: The ambiguous standards must be refined by the dialogue between the authorities and the industry.
- Critically examine international standards: The adoption of international standards in Swiss law must support national interests.
- Encourage the initiative of the industry: The industry should take responsibility for developing standards and proactively resolving weaknesses.
- Improve the financing of start-ups and SMEs: Expand government support programs and tax incentives.
The Swiss Blockchain Federation, the Crypto Valley Association and the Bitcoin Association Suisse launched this manifesto to ensure the long -term management of Switzerland in the blockchain sector. To ensure tangible progress, the implementation of these objectives will be regularly examined and adapted if necessary.
Interested organizations are invited to join the initiative and actively contribute to the strengthening of Switzerland as a leading blockchain.
