Swiss National Bank is willing to expand digital currency pilot project and has issued digital currency bonds worth $830.38 million

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Antoine Martin, a member of the board of directors of the Swiss National Bank, said at the Point Zero Forum event in Zurich that the Swiss National Bank is willing to expand its central bank's digital currency pilot project. He said: "We hope to see the pilot project continue to develop, more banks join, and transaction volume increase."

The Swiss National Bank said last month that it would continue to offer a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for at least two years, extending Project Helvetia III, a pilot project that began last year. Six banks, including UBS and Commerzbank, have participated in the project, which has issued six digital currency bonds with a total value of 750 million Swiss francs ($830.38 million).
