Platforms built on Distributed Ledger Technologies principals, and following the Swiss DLT Act as reference.

"With the DLT trading facility, no central securities depository is needed, which makes execution much more efficient, faster, and less risky in terms of counterparty risk. At the same time, trading providers can offer additional services, such as custody, clearing, and settlement.

Hence, the Swiss DLT regulation in force since August 2021 has significantly lowered the threshold for incumbent banks and insurance companies to extend their offering toward crypto assets and move into new business models around securities issuance and the trading of digital assets. At the same time, DLT players are likely to challenge established services, such as trading and custody, traditionally provided by conventional banks and asset managers." Book: Swiss Finance.
