UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank, BCV and Swiss Stablecoin AG said that they are launching a joint CHF stablecoin sandbox to test real-world use cases in Switzerland. The group said the initiative is designed to connect blockchain applications with the Swiss franc and strengthen the country’s digital money ecosystem.

The sandbox will run during 2026 in a controlled live environment with safeguards such as a limited participant pool and transaction limits. The partners said the setup will help them test more efficient payment processes, build hands-on experience with digital payment methods and generate practical insights for clients, while Swiss Stablecoin AG provides the issuance infrastructure.

What makes this notable is how coordinated the effort is. Switzerland still does not have a regulated Swiss franc stablecoin with broad domestic application, so this project is less about launching a finished product today and more about giving major financial institutions a shared environment to figure out what a credible CHF stablecoin could actually look like in practice.
