Statement on the 12-Point Program for a Forward-Looking Digital Financial Center

The Bitcoin Association Switzerland supports the 12-point program jointly developed by leading industry associations to foster a strong and future-oriented environment for digital innovation in Switzerland. We believe this framework is an important step toward ensuring regulatory clarity, technological advancement, and an open, competitive financial system that empowers individuals and businesses alike.

The Bitcoin Association Switzerland, in collaboration with key stakeholders such as the Swiss Blockchain Federation, welcomes the Federal Council's acceptance of a motion and the positive answer to an interpellation introduced by National Councilor Benjamin Fischer. This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing regulatory clarity for Bitcoin and digital assets in Switzerland.

Bitcoin Association Switzerland (BAS) is proud to announce the appointment of a new board, marking a fresh chapter in its long-standing commitment to Bitcoin advocacy and innovation. Founded in 2013, BAS has a rich history of being at the forefront of global Bitcoin adoption. As one of the earliest Bitcoin associations, it played a pivotal role in positioning Switzerland as a global leader in Bitcoin and Blockchain technology.

Dear Members of Bitcoin Association Switzerland, We are excited to share our first update with you as your newly appointed board. We recently held our first board meeting, and we want to ensure transparent communication with all of you as we begin this journey together.
