Swiss banks launch CHF stablecoin sandbox to explore digital money use cases.

Swiss banks launch CHF stablecoin sandbox to explore digital money use cases. A consortium including UBS, PostFinance and Sygnum has launched a Swiss franc stablecoin sandbox to test blockchain-based payment use cases and assess how digital currencies could support Switzerland's financial ecosystem. With a joint initiative, UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank, BCV and Swiss Stablecoin AG are joining forces to launch a CHF stablecoin sandbox. The new initiative will test potential use cases for a CHF stablecoin in Switzerland. In doing so, the partners are exploring ways to connect blockchain applications with the Swiss franc, aiming to strengthen both the Swiss digital money ecosystem and the competitiveness of Switzerland's financial centre. Stablecoins are gaining international importance and play a significant role in transforming the financial system. They are digital assets that are typically pegged to the value of a national currency and used via blockchain networks. There is currently no regulated Swiss franc stablecoin with broad application in Switzerland. UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, ZKB and BCV have therefore joined forces and, together with Swiss Stablecoin AG, are testing selected use cases for a CHF stablecoin in a secure digital live environment - a so-called sandbox. The participating companies are pursuing several overarching goals with this initiative. They aim to support the development of a Swiss ecosystem for digital money, build new capabilities and experience in handling digital payment methods, and gain practical insights. The focus is on more efficient processes and delivering real benefits for clients. The sandbox is based on an initial list of potential use cases that are being developed jointly. The technical infrastructure for issuing the stablecoin is provided by Swiss Stablecoin AG. The sandbox will be conducted in 2026 and is also open to other interested banks, companies, and institutions wishing to contribute to the development of a CHF stablecoin.

UBS and 5 banks launch Swiss franc stablecoin sandbox.

UBS and 5 banks launch Swiss franc stablecoin sandbox. Reading Time: 3 mins read * UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), and Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV), in collaboration with Swiss Stablecoin, have jointly launched a sandbox for a CHF-backed stablecoin. * The group aims to deploy the Swiss stablecoin in a live, secure environment this year to gain valuable insights into its use cases. Retail banking giant UBS and five other banks announced on Wednesday the launch of a joint sandbox for a Swiss franc stablecoin. The move aims to extensively test the capabilities of a CHF-backed digital asset against blockchain applications and a variety of use cases. The initiative signals a close cooperation among UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB), and Banque Cantonale Vaudoise (BCV). Swiss Stablecoin AG supports the group in evaluating the issuance and use of the digital version of the Swiss franc within a closed blockchain infrastructure this year. Key goals of the Swiss franc stablecoin sandbox. According to Synum, the group recognizes the increasingly important role of stablecoins in the global transformation of the financial system. The protected, live environment under the sandbox will allow them to gain practical experience with Swiss franc stablecoin applications within defined safeguards. From there, they aim to build more capabilities that will harness the CHF stablecoin's advantages and to contribute insights relevant to advancing Switzerland's financial industry and regulatory framework. It added that the group is open to other interested banks, companies, and institutions. Why the CHF stablecoin initiative matters. The initiative aims to fill the gap stemming from the absence of a regulated Swiss franc stablecoin. To date, the more than $300.33 billion stablecoin market is dominated by the US dollar, with other currencies such as the euro accounting for only a fraction of that figure. Tether's USDT, a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, remains the largest stablecoin in circulation. Additionally, it currently accounts for around $185.74 billion or over 61% of the global stablecoin supply. It exists within the rapidly growing Real-world Asset (RWA) tokenization market, which has already reached $768 billion this April. Likewise, it will allow Switzerland to scale its currency globally and reduce its reliance on foreign-denominated currencies, such as the US dollar, in trade, remittances, and cross-border payments. Furthermore, the development of a Swiss franc stablecoin will enable Switzerland to reinforce its role as a Web3 hotspot. Meanwhile, the sandbox's results can provide the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) with empirical data to help it fine-tune stablecoin regulations before the digital Swiss franc's full-market rollout.

Swiss banks unite to pilot regulated franc stablecoin.

Swiss banks unite to pilot regulated franc stablecoin. (8 April 2026 - Switzerland) Six major Swiss banks including UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, ZKB and BCV are collaborating to test a regulated Swiss franc stablecoin, signalling growing momentum for bank-led digital currency initiatives. Working alongside Swiss Stablecoin AG, the group will explore use cases within a controlled sandbox environment, with a focus on integrating blockchain applications into the Swiss franc ecosystem. The initiative aims to enhance both the country's digital currency infrastructure and the global competitiveness of its financial centre. At present, Switzerland lacks a widely adopted, regulated Swiss franc-denominated stablecoin, creating an opportunity for coordinated industry development. The sandbox is scheduled to run in 2026 and will be open to additional banks, corporates and institutions interested in participating. The move reflects a broader trend of bank-backed stablecoin exploration. Across Europe, a consortium of lenders is working toward launching a euro-pegged stablecoin, while separate collaborations - featuring institutions such as Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs - are also assessing joint issuance models as demand for stablecoin-based B2B payments continues to build.

Sygnum launches service targeting $100B corporate crypto treasury market

Sygnum launches service targeting $100B corporate crypto treasury market. 1 hour ago The Swiss crypto bank will handle strategic asset allocation for corporate crypto treasuries and is already actively managing $200 million in volume at launch. Cointelegraph in your social feed Global digital asset banking group Sygnum has announced the launch of an institutional crypto asset management service targeting the $100 billion corporate crypto treasury sector. Sygnum Select, launched on Thursday, is described as a "discretionary mandate service" that applies Swiss banking's established portfolio management model to crypto assets. The service launches with live client mandates, client assets, and $200 million in actively managed portfolios already in place, a Sygnum spokesperson told Cointelegraph. The move comes amid solid growth in corporate and public digital asset treasury companies (DATs) over the last few years, which now hold over $100 billion in crypto assets. "Yet many lack the infrastructure for professional, institutional-grade management," which creates "strong demand" for regulated services offering such products and addressing the gap, stated Sygnum. There are currently 1.13 million BTC held by public companies and 287,990 BTC held by private firms worth a combined $97 billion, according to BitcoinTreasuries. Not all DATs have been success stories. Ether treasury ETHZilla rebranded to "Forum" on Wednesday as part of a pivot out from holding crypto, with the new focus on tokenized assets following a 20% stock slide year to date. Meanwhile, the world's largest BNB treasury company, CEA Industries, has crashed 94% from its high last year, reportedly blaming the family office of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, YZi Labs, for a "secret side agreement." Sygnum said there has been a shift in client needs. Sygnum Select takes full execution authority within a client's agreed investment framework, handling strategic asset allocation, active rebalancing, and risk oversight. "As digital assets mature and institutional adoption accelerates, we're seeing a clear shift in what clients need," said Sygnum chief investment officer Fabian Dori. He added that crypto foundations and corporate treasuries are no longer simply looking for custody and trading, "they want a trusted, regulated counterparty who can actively manage their assets with the same discipline and holistic approach as a traditional private bank." The live mandates include spot, staking, hedging, derivatives, tokenized securities, and market-neutral strategies, and most portfolios include multiple asset classes across traditional and crypto assets, according to Sygnum. "Clients can now access bespoke portfolio management that combines what traditional asset managers or crypto-native firms can offer," explained Markus Haemmerli, Sygnum's head of portfolio management. The service is initially available only to Swiss clients, but broader geographic expansion is planned. Sygnum raised more than 750 BTC in January for its market-neutral Bitcoin fund, which posted an annualized return of 8.9% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Swiss crypto bank reached a post-money valuation of more than $1 billion after securing $58 million in an oversubscribed strategic growth round in January 2025.
