Cryptocurrency and regulation, the Swiss parliament approves the motion

The Swiss Federal Assembly has approved a favorable motion for the regulation of cryptocurrency. The parliament has adopted the measure by very large majorities (99 votes in favor and 10 abstentions) and, as explained by Conor Maloney (CCN), it wants to combat money laundering, extortion, and criminal fraud. Once the motion has passed, the parliament will now have to insert a specific rule in its own legislation.
