Swissquote to Launch Its Own Crypto Trading Platform in 2022

Swissquote, Switzerland's leading bank in online financial services, is planning to launch its own crypto exchange before the end of the first half of 2022.

Swissquote has seen a sudden surge in trading platforms for digital assets in Switzerland. The bank's ambitions include becoming the leading Swiss provider of digital assets, and they want to enable more trading in various cryptocurrencies on the platform, according to Jan De Schepper, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Swissquote.

Moreover, the broker also plans to add more cryptocurrencies to its offering, in addition to stablecoins and staking services, which are currently in high demand.

Swissquote has already bulked up its workforce in response to the surging demand for digital tokens and coins last spring and will continue hiring to fuel further expansion. 

Swissquote has added Metaverse Certificate to its Themes Trading Offering. The Swissquote Metaverse Certificate invests in companies that are expected to benefit from the metaverse, including but not limited to, companies creating virtual worlds, developing hardware to access the metaverse or enabling digital payments.
