X8 AG Submits a Swiss Fintech Licence Application

Share

X8 AG submitted the application for a Swiss FinTech license according to Art. 1b Banking Act with the intention of operating a regulated global stablecoin system

BAAR, Switzerland, Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The X8 AG team has successfully submitted the application to FINMA, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, for the Swiss FinTech license according to Article 1b Banking Act. This marks an important step for X8 AG on its way to become a fully regulated global stablecoin system and significantly differentiating itself from the current non-regulated crypto space.

Switzerland offers one of the most advanced regulatory frameworks for digital assets. X8 AG believes that designing its stablecoin system under Swiss law is the best starting point to achieve a global X8 cross-border framework for payments. Full compliance with the Swiss regulatory framework strengthens the high standards of protection for clients.

  • X8 AG aims to empower users and their money with frictionless, secure, and reliable financial solutions, facilitating identical and simultaneous use of stablecoins inside both the traditional and digital payment spaces.
  • Once the FinTech license will be granted, X8 AG plans to issue three different stablecoins denominated in single fiat currencies and backed 1:1 by either CHF, EUR, or USD (each a Single Denominated Stablecoin, X8 SDSC). Later, X8 AG aims to scale up and add additional X8 SDSCs in other currencies (JPY, GBP, CAD, AUD, and NZD).
  • In addition, X8 also plans to issue a global stablecoin backed by a basket of the X8 SDSCs denominated in all eight currencies (the X8C GSC). However, the final structure and functionalities of the X8C GSC are not yet defined.
  • X8 SDSCs are intended to be used as means of payment. The holders of X8 SDSC have a fixed redemption claim against X8 AG equaling the fiat backing of the X8 SDSC.
  • To achieve fully compliant and regulated payments across the broader TradFi, CeFi, and DeFi landscape, X8 AG plans to integrate smart features directly into the overall payment solution. Smart features shall include a blockchain digital identity, KYC, AML & cross-border checks, wallets, APIs, and multichain functionalities.
  • Smart features shall guarantee the eligibility of the sender and receiver of the service at all times and protect against non-compliant transfers, even when executing cross-border payments.

X8 AG’s CEO Roland Wulz said, "We are very pleased with what X8 AG is building, as the world needs a reliable, fully regulated, and compliant instrument with which to connect both traditional and new digital systems. X8 AG is operating in compliance with AML regulations and KYC provisions and is affiliated to a self-regulatory organization. In addition, X8 AG will accomplish and exceed other benchmarks, including capital reserves, client protection, and compliance. Achieving these milestones has paved the way for this week's FinTech license application. X8 AG intends to lead the FinTech industry with top-tier Swiss safety and reliability, helping to grow the world's new financial infrastructure from Switzerland to the global stage.”
