Yellow Card Gets Swiss AML Approval for Global Stablecoin Services

Yellow Card has secured a regulatory anti-money laundering affiliation in Switzerland, allowing its newly licensed Swiss subsidiary to offer regulated virtual-asset services to institutional and corporate clients. The approval, announced seven months after the firm shut down its retail trading arm to focus on business-to-business infrastructure, enables firms to access Yellow Card’s stablecoin infrastructure across Africa, Latin America, the United States and other emerging markets through a supervised Swiss entity. The Swiss operation will be led by Olpha Bribech, a French lawyer on Yellow Card’s senior management team, and will be based in Lugano, a city that has positioned itself as a blockchain hub with a CHF100 million bond issuance and a partnership with Tether under the Plan B initiative. Yellow Card already holds a virtual asset service provider licence in Botswana and says it will keep pursuing additional licences as it expands its global regulatory footprint. The company says the Swiss subsidiary gives partners a regulated, supervised counterparty while retaining the operational reach of its existing network across more than 50 emerging markets. For businesses and financial institutions looking to move capital into emerging markets using stablecoins, this provides a compliant gateway; they should evaluate Yellow Card’s Swiss offering as part of their cross-border payment and treasury-management strategies.
