- Summary
- Cryptocurrencies are legal and are classified as assets. Exchanges are legal but must obtain a license from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). FINMA has also introduced guidelines to help local start-ups launch ICOs. The Swiss canton of Zug now allows its residents to pay taxes in cryptocurrencies. Widely referred to as the "Crypto Valley" for its positive stance towards crypto, the canton of Zug started experimenting with crypto payments around five years ago.
