FINMA
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority
Introduction:
FINMA, established in 2007, is responsible for the supervision of Switzerland's financial markets, ensuring their integrity, stability, and transparency. It plays a crucial role in protecting investors and maintaining public confidence in the financial system. The authority has taken a proactive approach to the evolving landscape of digital assets, recognising the need for a regulatory framework that fosters innovation while mitigating risks associated with virtual assets.
Companies that secure membership in an SRO can engage in a broad spectrum of para banking activities, including those related to cryptocurrencies, all while operating under a rigorous regulatory regime. This membership not only facilitates access to the Swiss financial market but also ensures that these firms adhere to high standards of compliance and governance, thereby contributing to the overall stability of the financial ecosystem in Switzerland.
FINMA is the regulatory authority overseeing financial markets in Switzerland, known for its progressive stance on cryptocurrency. It regulates financial intermediaries.
