  The Swiss National Bank (SNB) plays a crucial role in regulating digital currencies in Switzerland. As the central bank of the country, it is responsible for maintaining financial stability and ensuring the proper functioning of the Swiss financial system. In the context of digital currencies, the SNB focuses on monitoring and assessing the risks associated with their use, as well as implementing measures to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. The SNB also collaborates with other regulatory bodies, such as the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), to develop and enforce regulations that promote the integrity and security of digital currency transactions.
