Switzerland’s Crypto Valley is booming, and the latest numbers prove it. As of 2025, nearly 1,750 blockchain companies now call the region home — a massive 132% growth since 2020, according to a new report by CV VC.
Spanning across Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Crypto Valley is becoming one of the most important blockchain hotspots in the world. The tech-friendly town of Zug continues to lead the pack, hosting over 40% of all crypto firms in the region. Close behind is Zurich with 15%, while other areas like Ticino, Geneva, and Luzern are also gaining traction.
“Crypto Valley has proven it can grow, evolve, and stay strong even in tough global conditions,” said Mathias Ruch, CEO of CV VC.
Over the last five years, the area has posted a steady 18.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). That kind of consistency shows that Switzerland isn’t just following crypto trends — it’s shaping them.
What’s Driving the Growth?
The rise of infrastructure and financial services is a big factor. These two sectors now make up a combined 38% of all blockchain companies in the region. Close behind are firms offering consulting and advisory services, showing that Crypto Valley isn’t just a place for builders — it’s a full ecosystem.
Legal structures are also shifting. While most companies still operate as corporations or LLCs, there’s a noticeable rise in foundations and associations, especially in 2024, which accounted for over 20% of new company filings.
Swiss Blockchain Scene Goes Global
According to Heinz Tännler, President of the Swiss Blockchain Federation, the data confirms Switzerland’s growing influence on the global crypto stage.
“This industry isn’t just important locally — it’s becoming globally strategic,” he said.
With strong regulation, investor interest, and clear growth, Crypto Valley is positioning itself as one of the world’s leading blockchain innovation zones.
