Switzerland is a “pivot point” for crypto adoption in Europe and continues to be the “center point of the next stage of institutionalization,” said Dr. Dirk Klee, CEO of Bitcoin Suisse. 

The CEO divulged why Switzerland is still the top spot for crypto in Europe and will continue to attract institutional investors in an exclusive Cointelegraph interview streetside in Davos, Switzerland.

In discussion with Cointelegraph reporter Gareth Jenkinson, Klee explained: 

“A lot of trust has been destroyed and eroded in the last year and we want to be kind of the center point of the next stage of institutionalization, you know, making the place more accessible, easier to use, but also safer.”

Founded in 2013, Bitcoin Suisse is one of the oldest Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto companies specializing in asset storage, including “custody solutions deep in the Swiss mountains,” stated Klee.

Switzerland is a well-known safe haven for crypto in Europe. The landlocked country is recognized for its role in the inception of Ethereum (ETH), and is home to Crypto Valley — a favorable environment for blockchain and cryptocurrency companies.
