Blockchain regulation

Blockchain regulation addresses legal effects and risks of distributed ledgers in finance, supply chains, identity, art, gaming and administration. In Switzerland, the regulatory focus often falls on token classification, financial-market licensing, anti-money-laundering duties, custody of cryptoassets, insolvency treatment, data protection and enforceability of on-chain arrangements. Governance is important because code, validators, foundations and service providers may share practical control. Projects should assess whether a token is a payment, utility or investment-like instrument, and document operational, cybersecurity and consumer risks.
