Swiss parliament released a new set of amended laws under the finance and corporate section that recognizes the digital asset and blockchain industry.

According to reports, several laws, including securities trading, were amended.

The new set of regulations explained the legal status of trading cryptocurrencies and the legal requirements of reclaiming crypto assets from firms that go bankrupt.

It also explains the legal process for owning a crypto exchange to prevent the risk of money laundering through crypto.

The amendment was made after the whole house of rep. members voted in support of the blockchain act this year. There is every possibility that the amended laws will take effect in the early months of 2021. With the new regulation, the blockchain, digital assets industry, and DeFi are expected to experience massive growth in the country.

Currently, Switzerland houses over 900 blockchain and crypto firms that employ close to 5000 people.

With the swiss government making progress in digital asset and blockchain innovations, public and private firms are also taking positive steps towards this technology.
