    JuCoin opens European headquarters in Baar

    By the end of 2025, JuCoin plans to expand the current nine-strong team in Baar to 100 employees, with space for up to 400 employees in total. The focus is on recruiting local talent to ensure both cultural proximity and a deep understanding of the market. The location will be led by CEO Kenny Dan and COO Hugo Teo, who bring extensive experience in the fintech and cryptocurrency sector.

    Setting the regulatory course
    A key objective is to obtain the MiCA license, which ensures compliance with EU regulations and enables the legal acceptance of clients throughout the EU. In this way, the company aims to create a secure, compliant and trustworthy trading environment for the European market.

    Broad-based ecosystem
    With the new location, the company is bringing its extensive service and product portfolio to Europe. This includes the blockchain infrastructure JuChain, the social platform JuChat, the entertainment platform JuGame and the hardware solution JuOne. The company is already active in over 30 countries worldwide and serves more than 12 million users.

    Significance for Crypto Valley
    The move underscores Switzerland’s role as a global innovation hub in the field of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. Baar is thus not only gaining a new employer with international appeal, but also an impetus for the further development of Crypto Valley as a leading competence center for digital financial technologies.

    New initiative to strengthen Switzerland as a blockchain location

    The Zug-based Swiss Blockchain Federation plans to launch the Home of Blockchain.swiss initiative on May 24 at the World Economic Forum in Davos. According to a media release , this is a public-private partnership under the patronage of Federal Councilor Ueli Maurer. It is also supported by the foreign trade promoter Switzerland Global Enterprise ( S-GE ), several cantons and CV Labs .

    The aim of the initiative is to show the advantages of Switzerland as a blockchain location abroad. For example, Swiss appearances at international conferences are to be organised. A media campaign is also planned.

    According to the initiators, Switzerland offers good breeding ground for blockchain companies. The “business-friendly framework conditions” are emphasized here. In addition, the Crypto Valley is a good example of success. A number of blockchain companies have already settled in the region, the heart of which is in Zug, such as Sygnum Bank and 21Shares .

    “The possibilities of blockchain technology are endless and Crypto Valley in Switzerland is at the forefront of this revolution. Now is the time to seize that opportunity. With Home of Blockchain.swiss, Switzerland’s good reputation will be carried out into the world,” Heinz Tännler, President of the Swiss Blockchain Federation and Finance Director of the Canton of Zug (SVP), is quoted as saying.

    The initiators also want to present the Swiss Digital Asset Market Report 2022 as part of the World Economic Forum. Among other things, providers of digital assets in Switzerland were surveyed for the report.
