Zusammenarbeit zwischen SBF und Crypto Valley Association

By | Public Announcements

Eine Delegation der Swiss Blockchain Federation unter der Leitung von Präsident Heinz Tännler ist am 18. März mit dem Board der Crypto Valley Association (CVA) zusammengetroffen, um sich gegenseitig über die Entwicklung und die Aktivitäten beider Organisationen auszutauschen.

Die CVA hat ihre Leitungsgremien vollständig erneuert und passt ihr Strategie aus. CVA-Präsident Daniel Haudenschild und die anderen Mitglieder des Boards äusserten den Willen, eng mit der SBF zusammenzuarbeiten.

Es wurde vereinbart, dass sich die Delegationen von SBF und CVA auf Stufe Board halbjährlich treffen. Diskussionen und Kooperationen zwischen thematisch ähnlichen Arbeitsgruppen sind sehr erwünscht um Duplizierungen zu vermeiden und die Auswirkungen auf das Oekosystem zu maximieren. Auch im Rahmen der bevorstehenden Vernehmlassung werden sich SBF und CVA gegenseitig über ihre Anliegen und Positionen informieren.

Beide Organisationen waren sich einig, dass sie unterschiedliche Stärken und Prioritäten haben. So ist die SBF beispielsweise als Public Private Partnership stärker im schweizerischen politischen Bereich tätig, während die CVA als Privatsektorsvereni Schwerpünkte auf die Bedürfnisse der Mitglieder und das Wachstum der Ökosystemgemeinschaft, einschließlich Investitionen und internationale Vernetzung, legt.

Update – CVA Statement on Blue Trading

By | Articles, Public Announcements

We have been following up on to the news of Blue Trading allegedly being a fraudulent Mauritius based organization since it was first brought to our attention a few weeks ago. We have blocked them from any existing or potential CVA membership and have taken appropriate measures to guide affected individuals to the correct authorities. Our newly elected Ethics Officer and his team are currently investigating the case and will provide, if applicable, any details to the appropriate authorities.

We are deeply disappointed with the actions of individual companies which undermine not only the brand of the CVA, but the adoption of blockchain and digital assets as a whole.  Be assured that the matter has our full attention and are aiming to provide the assistance we can to ensure the matter is resolved.

Our actions behind the scene are not reflected at the moment on the CVA website because we are legally restricted to share any information publicly on a case still being investigated. As soon as possible we will publish any updates to the extent that is legally permissible.

While honoring our commitment to full transparency the CVA is handling this matter with respect to the principles of fairness, proportionality and the presumption of innocence.
