Educate
Plain-language courses, workshops and explainers so that anyone — from a school class to a board of directors — can understand digital ownership.
Crypto Valley · Switzerland
The Swiss voicefor digitalownership.
We make NFTs and tokenised assets understandable for the public, practical for businesses, and well-represented in Bern.
What we do
Three pillars, one association.
Less conference stage, more classroom and committee room — with a good apéro in between.
Advocate
We follow consultations, draft positions and speak with regulators and parliament so Swiss rules stay clear, fair and innovation-friendly.
Connect
Casual meetups across Switzerland where builders, artists, lawyers and the merely curious actually talk to each other.
Community
Real people, real rooms.
Founders, artists, lawyers, students and the simply curious — this is what the association looks like when it meets.
“Less conference stage, more conversation. The best ideas in this space have always started over an apéro.”
We keep our gatherings small and social on purpose. Education and advocacy are the work; the community is what makes it worth doing.
Learn
From “what is an NFT?” to “how do we tokenise our shares?”
Structured learning paths, free for everyone. Written by practitioners, reviewed by our members.
Digital assets for Swiss SMEs
A guided route from first principles to a tokenisation decision your board can actually sign off on.
NFTs without the hype
What a token actually is, what it can prove, and what it can't. Written for people who have never opened a wallet.
Wallets & custody, hands-on
Two hours, your own device, no jargon. Leave with a working setup you understand.
The Swiss legal framework
DLT Act, ledger-based securities, FINMA practice — mapped for non-lawyers.
Classroom kit
Slides, exercises and a teacher's guide for Gymnasium and vocational schools.
Glossary

Advocacy
Where we stand — and who we're talking to.
We track every consultation that touches digital assets in Switzerland, publish our position, and bring members' real-world experience to the table.

Interoperability with MiCA
Where Switzerland should align, where it should differentiate, and what that means for NFT projects.
Cantons
Digital identity & public registers
Exploring how tokenised proofs could plug into e-ID and cantonal registers.
More coming soon
We're working through the current consultations. New positions land here as they're published — members hear first.
Meetups
Casual by design.
No stages, no badges, no keynotes. Just good people, good conversations and the occasional lake view.
Coming soon
The next apéro is in the works.
We're lining up the first gatherings of the new season — small, social, somewhere with a good view. Dates and cities will be announced here and in the newsletter.
Team
The people behind it.
A volunteer board of three. Say hello at the next apéro — we'll be the ones pouring.
