Zero-to-one vs one-to-ten: Bringing a CHF stablecoin from Switzerland to the world
Johannes Kern

Real-world assets (RWAs) represent a powerful opportunity to anchor decentralized systems in tangible value and stability. By leveraging the Swiss Franc (CHF)—a globally trusted and stable currency—RWAs can position CHF as a key asset in DeFi.
This presentation shows how far we've come with Frankencoin and examines the potential of tokenized Swiss assets, such as real estate and bonds, to enhance financial innovation and stability, offering a compelling use case for expanding CHF’s relevance in these systems.
