The Crypto Valley, which includes entire Switzerland and Liechtenstein, further expands its position as one of the world's leading blockchain ecosystems. The CV VC Crypto Valley Company & Industry Report, which has just been released, reports a growth of 132 percent since 2020. This report is the only qualified and quantified analysis of the dynamic landscape of the Crypto Valley. It provides well-founded insights into the development of blockchain technologies in the cantons and in Liechtenstein. Mathias Ruch, founder and CEO of CV VC, recognizes the results of the report: «The latest figures impressively underline how the Crypto Valley claims its leading role in the global blockchain sector. There is no comparable report worldwide that depicts the development of a blockchain ecosystem so comprehensively and in detail. The report enables a deeper understanding of developments that shape the crypto Valley and shape the future of this technology. »

Ten regions shape the crypto Valley

The geographical distribution of the blockchain companies proves that the growth of the crypto Valley is not only limited to train, but is increasingly spread to other cantons. The top 10 regions are:

1. Zug (719 companies): Zug remains the center of the Crypto Valley and houses 41 percent of all companies. The canton is known for its regulatory clarity and innovative strength.
2. Zürich (264): Zurich benefits from its pronounced financial and tech industry as well as the universities and is increasingly establishing itself as a hub for advice and financial services.
3. Ticino (103): The canton mainly attracts companies from the Gamefi, NFT and Metaverse area and is developing into a creative hotspot, especially thanks to the Plan-B initiative in Lugano.
4. Geneva (85): Geneva is a leader in the area of ​​security, audit and compliance- here numerous specialized legal and advisory companies are located.
5. Neuenburg (85): Neuchâtel has established itself as a location for infrastructure projects, with a strong focus on technical innovations.
6. Lucerne (72): Lucerne shows a strong presence in the Defi area and is a growing center for financial technologies.

These ten regions make up over 90 percent of blockchain companies in the Crypto Valley and underline the geographical diversity of the ecosystem.

Industry variety as a growth driver

The diversification of the blockchain industry in the crypto Valley is particularly remarkable. The leading sectors are:

• Infrastructure (20%)
• Financial services (18%)
• Beratung & Advisory (17%)
• Security, Audit & Compliance (8%)
• Gamefi, NFTS & Metaverse (6%)

This diversity shows that the Crypto Valley is not only a center for financial technologies, but also sets new standards in areas such as gaming, education and infrastructure.

Crypto Valley as a global scale

With their legal framework, their political stability and high quality of life, Switzerland and Liechtenstein offer optimal conditions for blockchain and crypto companies. This attractiveness is reflected in the constant increase in new foundations and in the growing number of international projects. Heinz Tännler, President of the Swiss Blockchain Federation, emphasizes: «This report proves that the Swiss blockchain industry is not only nationally relevant, but also of global strategic importance. While we are in a decisive phase of international competition in 2025, the 12-point manifesto of the Swiss Blockchain Federation offers concrete steps to further sharpen Switzerland's competitiveness, especially in the Fintech sector. We look forward to presenting this important report together with CV VC. It is a clear signal that Switzerland is willing to actively shape the future of blockchain technology. »

Mathias Ruch adds: «Our goal is to further strengthen these excellent framework conditions. Together with the authorities, science and the economy, we are working to position Crypto Valley sustainably as a global center for blockchain innovation. In the past five years, the Crypto Valley has survived global challenges, developed and diversified. In view of the increasing international competition, we must continue to adapt so that the Crypto Valley will continue to set standards for resilience and long -term visions in the future. »
