The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the SIX Group, Romeo Lacher, shows himself in an interview with the Financial Times as an advocate of an electronic currency. The introduction of an “e-franc” supported by the Swiss National Bank would revive both the economy and the electronic payment systems, quoted the newspaper Lacher. “I think there is a lot of potential here and we would be very supportive of that.” An “E-franc” under the control of the SNB would also bring many synergies.
He is somewhat worried about the fact that the cryptocurrencies, at least until recently, only knew the way up. After the first collapse of an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) there will be burned fingers, so Lacher. But one could also learn from the mistakes that were made. He also confirmed the attitude of the SIX not to allow cryptocurrencies to trade.
