For around two years, Diego Benz and Philippe Kaiser, together with a project team (consisting of fedafin, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg, VNTR | Innovation & Venturing by PostFinance, VISCHER, WalderWyss, Drakkensberg, KORE Technologies), have been working intensively on the topic of “Digital Assets”. The project, which was co-financed by Innosuisse, was scientifically supported by the Competence Center for Banking & Finance at OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule. One of the most important outputs was the creation of a framework for security token offerings (STO) and the founding of the industry association “Digital Assets Switzerland (DAS)“.
