Swiss stock exchange declares ‘new era’ with crypto launch

The Swiss stock exchange has announced plans for a digital trading, settlement and custody venue for crypto assets — one of the first moves by a mainstream European exchange to open its doors to digital tokens and securities.

SIX Swiss Exchange, part of SIX Group, which is co-owned by 130 banks, said in a statement that it has created an “end-to-end” exchange for digital assets — which could potentially lead to the trading of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin in the future.
