● The U.S. is urging Switzerland to ensure
its regulations governing
cryptocurrencies are strong enough to
prevent abuse like money laundering and
terrorism, as the European banking hub
prepares to host Libra, a crypto
proposed by Facebook (NASDAQ:FB).
●The project - likely to be backed by the
U.S. dollar, euro, yen, British pound and
Singapore dollar - is seeking a payment
system license under Swiss financial
watchdog FINMA.
●Switzerland has increasingly embraced
global norms of financial transparency,
promoting itself as a hub for financial
technology and innovation. |
