Swiss bank Maerki Baumann is the second one in the country that uses cryptocurrency. It will accept the digital assets for a variety of transaction from its customers through mining or trading goods and services.

Maerki will closely overlook the progress of this investment vehicles as well as monitors all those laws and regulations pertaining to cryptocurrency related transaction. Currently, the bank considers cryptocurrencies as an alternative investment vehicles given the limited experience in place to assess data for the price, trading volume, volatility involved. However, the erstwhile bank called Falcon Private Bank had shown its interest to accept the payment through cryptocurrency assets.

When it comes to trade with cryptocurrency, let’s not forget that one has to keep medium to a long-term approach to reap the benefits of the technology!!
