PANews reported on September 18 that according to the Financial Times, the Swiss Stock Exchange SIX is exploring the establishment of a cryptocurrency trading platform in Europe in an effort to squeeze into a market dominated by established digital asset companies such as Binance, OKX and Coinbase (COIN.O). The group is considering using its reputation and Switzerland's advanced crypto laws to attract large traditional investors who are increasingly interested in trading digital assets. "Cryptocurrency has become increasingly a recognized asset class," said Bjørn Sibbern, head of global exchanges at the Swiss SIX Group. He added that the company is looking into creating "a platform that will allow us to help facilitate transactions, whether it's (spot) cryptocurrencies or derivatives."
