Switzerland has always been a crypto-friendly jurisdiction and the ongoing regulatory onslaught on web3 market participants in the US, is expected to trigger a massive exodus of crypto businesses to regions with amenable web3 regulations such as Swiss.

Already, the abrupt collapse of US banks like Silvergate Capital, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and others, has left crypto exchanges and other web3 businesses with no other choice but to seek banking partners abroad, including in Switzerland. If all goes as planned, Bank Syz’s new crypto will be a huge success.
