According to an official announcement from UBS, nine Swiss institutions—UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank, BCV, SIX, TWINT, and Swiss Stablecoin AG—will officially launch the CHF stablecoin sandbox testing phase on September 8, 2026. The testing will be conducted in a controlled, live sandbox environment using the digital stablecoin CHFD, which is pegged 1:1 to the Swiss franc. The test will focus on innovative use cases such as automated transactions between financial institutions, tokenized settlement of digital assets, and programmable payments, including reducing fraud risks in online marketplaces, enabling fair distribution of event tickets, and improving the efficiency of public fund disbursements. The testing period is expected to last until the end of 2026, with results providing valuable insights for the future development of Switzerland’s digital currency ecosystem.
