Swiss Federal Administrative Court puts certain limits to FINMA’s enforcement activities

Swiss Federal Administrative Court puts certain limits to FINMA’s…

<p>A recent June 16, 2026 decision (B-5862/2024) of the Swiss Federal Administrative Court is an important reminder that FINMA’s enforcement powers are broad, but not boundless: where disgorgement and other onerous remedial measures are concerned, FINMA must establish a serious supervisory breach, prove causation, and assess the facts from the perspective available at the relevant time rather than through hindsight. In this case, the Court upheld, to a large extent, a bank’s appeal against a FINMA enforcement decision.&nbsp;Although FINMA has already pronounced its intention to challenge this decision before the Federal Supreme Court, it provides useful guidance for regulated Swiss institutions.</p>

Swiss sanctions and crypto assets services: When can providers refuse instructions?

Swiss sanctions and crypto assets services: When can providers refuse…

<p>In two decisions of 28 April 2026 (4A_535/2025 and 4A_537/2025), the Swiss Federal Supreme Court addressed the application of Switzerland's sanctions asset freeze regime to crypto assets held with a Swiss provider of crypto asset brokerage and custody services. The Court confirmed that, where concrete indications give rise to the suspicion that crypto assets may be owned or directly or indirectly controlled by a sanctioned person, the service provider may validly refuse to execute client instructions to release or transfer those assets.</p> <p>The decisions clarify the interaction between the service provider’s public-law obligations under the Swiss sanctions framework and its contractual duties towards the client. They also raise practical questions specific to the custody of digital assets, in particular where access to the assets depends on wallets, private keys or custody infrastructure.</p>
