About This Site
Zug Notes is a field notes blog about Swiss crypto regulation, the Crypto Valley ecosystem, and what holding crypto in Switzerland actually involves.
Not a lawyer, not a financial advisor. A plain-language reading of the primary sources, with context — not professional guidance.
What You’ll Find Here
- Regulation: FINMA policy, MiCA interaction, CARF reporting, and the regulatory mechanics that shape crypto in Switzerland
- Ecosystem: Crypto Valley reality — what’s here, what’s changed, what the outside world gets wrong
- Holdings: Swiss wealth tax treatment, capital gains exemption, crypto-friendly banks, and what day-to-day holding involves
How These Notes Are Made
Each note is built from primary sources — FINMA publications, federal and cantonal tax guidance, official registers, and the institutions’ own disclosures — and from published reporting and analysis, linked in the text. The notes do not report personal visits, meetings, or conversations. Where a figure is an estimate, the note says so and shows what it is based on.
What This Is Not
- Legal advice
- Financial advice
- Investment recommendations
- Trading signals or technical analysis
Swiss crypto regulation changes frequently. Always verify with a qualified Swiss lawyer or financial advisor before making decisions.
