Why Zug Is the Global Home of Blockchain

Since the Ethereum Foundation chose Zug in 2014, the canton has become the undisputed world capital of blockchain — not by accident, but by design.

No Capital Gains Tax on Crypto

Switzerland does not impose capital gains tax on private cryptocurrency holdings. For qualifying blockchain entities, this creates substantial structural advantages unavailable in most jurisdictions.

Crypto-Friendly Regulation

FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority) published the world's first clear ICO/token guidance in 2018. The regulatory framework is rigorous but transparent — ideal for serious projects.

World-Class Ecosystem

Ethereum Foundation, Cardano Foundation, Solana Foundation, Dfinity, Shapeshift, Bitcoin Suisse — all based in Canton Zug. Access unparalleled talent, investors, and partnerships.

Crypto-Accepting Canton

Since 2021 Canton Zug accepts Bitcoin and Ethereum for tax payments (up to CHF 100,000). This is symbolic of the canton's genuine embrace of digital assets.

Legal Certainty

Swiss Federal Council issued clear guidelines distinguishing payment tokens, utility tokens, and asset tokens. No ambiguity — you know exactly which rules apply to your project.

Low Corporate Tax

Effective combined cantonal and federal corporate tax rate in Zug is approximately 11.9% — among the lowest in the OECD for a fully compliant, G20-approved jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crypto Valley Office FAQ

No. The entire process can be completed remotely. You will need to sign notarised documents (which can be done via apostille at a Swiss embassy or consulate abroad) and provide identity documentation, but no in-person visit to Switzerland is required. Our team has assisted founders from over 40 countries without a single in-person meeting.
Switzerland distinguishes between professional trading (taxed as income) and private wealth management (capital gains exempt). For a Swiss company holding or trading crypto, corporate tax applies on net profits at the effective Zug rate of ~11.9%. Swiss residents holding crypto as private assets pay no capital gains tax. Specific structuring advice should come from a qualified Swiss tax advisor.
Yes. Swiss law does not prohibit companies from accepting cryptocurrency as payment. FINMA requires that companies involved in payment services (transmitting crypto on behalf of third parties) obtain a licence, but simply accepting crypto for goods or services does not require a FINMA licence.
There is no separate legal category for "Crypto Valley" companies. The term refers to the ecosystem and location. Your entity will be a standard Swiss GmbH or AG registered in Canton Zug, with all the associated legal benefits — the distinction is the strategic location and the regulatory environment, not the legal form.
