TechFlow news, on July 2, according to Bloomberg, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) has recently intensified its oversight of Swissquote Group Holding SA, Switzerland's largest consumer trading platform, demanding more effective measures to reduce suspicious activities. Swissquote CEO Marc Buerki revealed that in an annual assessment letter earlier this year, Finma explicitly instructed the company to reduce the number of reports submitted to the Swiss Money Laundering Reporting Office. This regulatory move responds to a recent surge in fraud attempts and cyberattacks targeting the platform. Notably, as one of the earlier traditional financial institutions in Switzerland offering cryptocurrency trading services, the heightened regulation may impact compliance requirements across Swissquote’s operations, including its cryptocurrency business.
