**[Switzerland Rises as a Global Crypto-Friendly Regulatory Hub with Its Tiered Regulatory System]** Deep Tide TechFlow reports on August 12, citing (Bitcoin.com), that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) continues to attract global crypto and blockchain companies with its unique tiered regulatory model. In 2024, the total added value of Switzerland's financial sector reached 74 billion Swiss francs, accounting for approximately 9% of GDP and supporting around 222,800 full-time jobs. By the end of 2025, the number of blockchain companies nationwide in Switzerland had reached 1,766. FINMA's regulatory system is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach but provides differentiated pathways based on the actual business nature of companies—ranging from sandbox mechanisms and fintech licenses to full banking and securities authorizations, allowing companies to choose according to their needs. The self-regulatory organization (SRO) mechanism offers smaller intermediary institutions a compliant pathway to participate in financial activities without bearing the full compliance costs of a bank-level framework. Additionally, FINMA has significantly reduced the average response time for fintech and DLT authorization consultations from 141 days in 2021 to 25 days in 2024, a reduction of 82%.
