US and Swiss authorities discuss cryptocurrency regulation
A delegation from the US House of Representatives will visit Switzerland to discuss cryptocurrency regulation. Six members of the Financial Services Committee will meet with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). The main topics of discussion will be the cryptocurrency Libra planned by Facebook and digital currencies in general.
