"Blockchain is a widely discussed technology today. It is often said, as with the advent of the Internet, that this technology has the potential to change many things directly affecting various sectors by improving supply chains, financial and payment systems, notary firms, business processes and governments.

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies in Switzerland At the end of July, we reported that due to the massive growth of stablecoins in 2020, the cryptocurrency community has founded the International Stablecoin Association in Switzerland. Called the World Stablecoin Association, or WSA, the Geneva-based organization is to be launched by cryptocurrency exchange VirgoX and blockchain firm Global Digital Assets, or GDA Capital. Two weeks ago, we learned that Atupri Health Insurance has begun a partnership with cryptocurrency finance company Bitcoin Suisse. The partnership aims to enable payments in BTC and ETH for the insurer's 200,000 customers. Atupri, based in Bern, will not hold any digital assets itself. It will receive payments in Swiss francs when BTC or ETH is exchanged by Bitcoin Suisse. Tags Blockchain dlt Switzerland
