Crypto Valley: Definition and Geographic Scope

Crypto Valley is not a formal designation — it is a collective name for Switzerland's blockchain and digital asset ecosystem, centred on the canton of Zug and extending across the Zurich metropolitan area. The name was coined in 2013-2014 as the first blockchain companies and foundations began accumulating in Zug, and has since become the recognised brand for one of the world's most significant financial technology ecosystems.
