SIX Group, the parent company of Switzerland's principal stock exchange, announced a week ago that it would launch its digital trading platform by mid-2019.
On 15 July, SIX Group's spokesman Stephan Meier revealed in an interview of the Swissinfo news outlet that SIX Group is trying to "open" to the possibility of offering cryptocurrency trading services on its digital trading platform. He told that by offering with the new services they will provide a safe environment for issuing and trading digital assets and enable the tokenization of existing securities and non-bankable assets to make previously untradeable assets tradeable. Currently, they are focusing on building the platform and no decision has been yet made as to which specific products will be offered to list and trade.
In the interview, Stephan Meier announced that there is a "real need" for the establishment of "transparency and accountability in the cryptocurrency-world." According to him, this would benefit both the business and investors in the crypto-world. He also said that they want to build a bridge between the traditional financial services and digital communities.
Switzerland has been described as the 2nd "most glowing" country for ICOs in terms of fundraised, outperformed only by the U.S.
