Switzerland Advances Crypto Regulations with Global Data Sharing and DLT Licensing in 2025

Switzerland solidifies its position as a global leader in cryptocurrency regulation, with its 'Crypto Valley' setting the standard for innovation and compliance. The federal government has approved a landmark bill enabling the exchange of crypto asset information with 74 countries, targeting tax transparency and cross-border evasion. Implementation begins in 2026, with data exchanges starting in 2027.

BX Digital secures a pivotal Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) trading venue license from FINMA, signaling robust institutional adoption. Meanwhile, UBS partners with Microsoft's Azure AI to deploy smart assistants for crypto market advisors, enhancing client services through real-time data insights.

The automatic exchange of information (AEOI) framework, pending parliamentary approval, underscores Switzerland's commitment to balancing regulatory clarity with market growth. These developments position Swiss crypto frameworks as a blueprint for financial stability and investor protection worldwide.
