The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, or FINMA, has sanctioned InCore bank to carry out digital money/asset transactions, allowing customers worldwide to access and transact within the bank.

The official statement represents a significant step in making a blockchain-friendly atmosphere across the EU banking sector. InCore bank becomes the first Swiss business-to-business bank approved to operate within the crypto sphere.

The firm here and now allows the official clients to trade, hold, and transfer digital assets. FINMA has also allowed the bank to develop its tokenization capabilities.

The bank already partnered with Inacta AG, an independent Swiss-based IT consulting firm, to provide information and crypto-assets management.

InCore Bank’s new digital assets’ transaction client is Maerki Bauman & CO. Local media considers InCore Bank to be one of the most well-qualified banks in the sector.

Company executives said the bank plans to expand its blockchain strategy in the coming months. It also plans to include brokerage, custody, and transfer services to security tokens.

This initiative is a beaming hope for the future of blockchain and cryptocurrencies/ digital assets.
