Banks including, Sygnum, UBS, Raiffeisen, PostFinance, Zürcher Kantonalbank, BCV and Swiss Stablecoin AG have all joined a project focusing on developing a Swiss-backed stablecoin. Testing will commence in 2026 with more partners expected to join from the region.
Marking a similar resemblance for the Digital Sandbox being carried out in the UK, this particular project looks to explore the benefits and drawbacks of using a local stablecoin as a settlement tool and layer for high-volume trades between leading banking group.
CHF (Swiss France) stablecoins are rising in their supply as part of other currencies being put onchain. Frankencoin currently leads the pack in terms of active market cap, with just under $40M issued, although it bears a more decentralised infrastructure and earning model.
