English media: SIX Swiss Exchange considers launching a cryptocurrency exchange
According to the Financial Times, the Swiss Stock Exchange is exploring the establishment of a cryptocurrency trading platform in Europe to break into the market dominated by veteran digital asset companies such as Binance, OKX, and Coinbase. The group is considering leveraging its reputation and Switzerland's advanced crypto laws to attract large traditional investors who are increasingly interested in trading digital assets. "Cryptocurrencies have increasingly become a recognized asset class," said Bjørn Sibbern, Head of Global Exchanges at Swiss SIX Group. He added that the company is studying the creation of "a platform that allows us to facilitate trading, whether it's (spot) cryptocurrencies or derivatives."
