Fintech & Digital Assets
The digitalization of the financial sector, innovative fintech business models, and rapid developments in blockchain and digital assets are bringing about lasting change in the financial industry. New technologies – from open banking and embedded finance to tokenization, DeFi, and Web3 – are opening up a wide range of opportunities, but also presenting companies with growing legal and regulatory challenges.
Switzerland is one of the leading locations for fintech and crypto companies. At the same time, the requirements of FINMA and international supervisory authorities are constantly increasing: from strict AML/KYC requirements to data protection and ICT risks to specific requirements for token models, custody services, and innovative platforms.
We support fintech, blockchain, and digital asset companies in the secure, efficient, and compliant implementation of their business models. Our expertise covers both traditional financial market regulation and new technologies and international developments.

- Legal and regulatory assessment of fintech, blockchain, and digital asset business models and token structures (securities, payment, utility, stablecoins)
- Support with cross-border issues and international regulations (e.g., MiCA, FATF)
- Support with FINMA licensing and reporting procedures and representation of interests vis-à-vis supervisory authorities

market supervision and offer clear, innovative, and solution-oriented advice. We look forward to hearing from you!
