Switzerland

Switzerland appears in This Swiss city wants to become the bitcoin capital of Europe through Lugano, the Swiss city positioning itself as a European Bitcoin hub. The episode keeps the national frame narrow: it contrasts Swiss francs and Bitcoin as payment options and has Michele Folletti argue that Switzerland’s money-laundering risk is more tied to fiat and cash than to Bitcoin.

The source makes Switzerland a setting for Municipal Bitcoin Adoption and Virtual Asset AML Risk, not a full national crypto-policy survey. [[LuganoPlanB|Plan B]] is therefore tracked as a city initiative inside Switzerland rather than as evidence that the whole country has become Bitcoin-based.
