Cryptovalley Zug is an ecosystem in the Swiss canton of Zug: "Over the past several years, Gevers has been working to bring other likeminded people to Zug, south of Zurich, in order to establish a hub for cryptocurrency start-ups which he calls ”Crypto Valley”. Among the businesses headquartered there are Ethereum, which has launched its own cryptocurrency called “ether” and a platform for developers to build systems around it, and Bitcoin Suisse, a provider of bitcoin ATMs. “There are now about 15 companies that are part of the digital finance compliance association, which I founded last year and which is designed to create a legal framework that’s friendly to digital finance,” Gevers says."
