“Will it happen?” is no longer the question. “Are we still in time?” is.
$300B in stablecoins. $30B in tokenized assets. 54 of 225 Swiss banks active in digital assets. Switzerland’s one-year lead is shrinking.

A proof of concept tells you what a technology might do. A competitive RFP followed by a production deployment tells you what a bank will run its regulated processes on.
Aquila AG is deploying Wecan in production — onboarding, periodic review and changes in circumstances, for independent asset managers and their end clients.
Sovereign AI, running in the bank's own environment. Deterministic: same inputs, same output, traceable.

Vincent Pignon, Ph.D retweeted
In crypto land, investors tend to disqualify a project just by looking at the chart, or worse, looking at which CEXs the token is listed on.
However, behind many tokens hide quality projects that are genuinly building useful stuff.
@WecanGroupSwiss is such example.
Wecan is a Swiss 🇨🇭 compliance-tech company that builds tooling meant to fix how compliance actually works day to day rather than simply ticking boxes for regulators.
@swissborg listed their utility token $WECAN via Solana where the token is bridged to.
And just like that, not only a token that is hard to access by most investors got a direct line into a 1m+ user.
But most importantly, existing investors of the token can now deposit $WECAN on a safe and regulated platform instead of hunting across venues and bridges.

⚠️ Zusammengefasste/übersetzte Infos mit KI, nicht abschließend und ohne Anlageberatung. Konsultiere die offiziellen SwissBorg-Quellen und führe deine eigenen Recherchen durch.
🟢 Sonderausgabe mit Cyrus und Vincent Pignon, Gründer und CEO von Wecan Group.
🟢 Hintergrund von Vincent
- Gründer und CEO von Wecan Group, einem Schweizer Unternehmen, das in die SEALSQ-Gruppe integriert ist, die an der NASDAQ notiert ist.
- Ehemaliger Professor an der Universität Genf, der seit Jahren Fintech, Blockchain und Krypto unterrichtet und ein Buch über Fintech in der Schweiz mitverfasst hat.
- Er hat mit dem Staat Genf an seiner Blockchain- und Krypto-Roadmap gearbeitet, zu der Zeit, als SwissBorg entstand.
🟢 Das Problem der Branche identifizieren
- Bei jeder Konteneröffnung schickt der Kunde dieselben Dokumente, Ausweis und Wohnsitznachweis, immer und immer wieder.
- Jeder Versand erzeugt eine weitere Kopie in einer Datenbank, bei einer Bank, einem Versicherer oder einer Fintech, was mehr Risiko für den Kunden wie für die Gegenpartei bedeutet.
- Das ist kein internes Problem eines Unternehmens, sondern ein globales Problem des Sektors, das digitale Identität und Blockchain angehen können.
🟢 Ursprung und Entwicklung von Wecan Group
- Unternehmen vor 11 Jahren als Spin-off der Universität Genf gegründet.
- Heute mehr als 100 Kunden, hauptsächlich Schweizer Privatbanken, plus Versicherer, Fintechs und internationale Finanzintermediäre.
- Die ersten beiden Kunden, zwei große konkurrierende Privatbanken, suchten einen gemeinsamen Safe für ihre Depotbanken. Sie wurden die Haupt-Sponsoren und Botschafter der Lösung.
- Die Lösung erstreckt sich auch auf verschiedene Einheiten innerhalb derselben Bankengruppe: Kein Bedarf, den gesamten Onboarding-Prozess von vorne zu beginnen, wenn ein Kunde ein Produkt von seiner Bank in Luxemburg oder Dubai möchte.
🟢 Das Produkt
- Ein KI-basierter Copilot, der mehrsprachig ist, um alle Rechtsordnungen abzudecken.
- Ein Kundenbetreuer kann ein Konto anhand einer Sprachnotiz auf seinem Smartphone, anhand von Notizen, anhand eines PDFs oder einfach über den Chat eröffnen. Die Plattform analysiert das Unternehmen und liefert die Risikobewertung, die rechtlichen und historischen Informationen sowie Angaben zum Wirtschaftsprüfer und zum Vorstand.
- Sie lässt sich mit bestehenden Tools, Screening-Systemen, Kernbankensystemen und Portfoliomanagement-Lösungen verbinden und deckt den gesamten Kundenlebenszyklus ab – vom Onboarding bis zum fortlaufenden KYC – sowohl für Privatpersonen als auch für Unternehmen und Trusts.
🟢 Nutzen des Tokens solana:weCanDQdo6nobuM6of7FozmEmXLveaAwMsdMjEsstM2
- Der Token adressiert den Audit-Trail: Jeder Compliance-Ereignis wird als kryptographischer Fingerabdruck auf der Blockchain verankert.
- Die Daten verlassen nie den Safe der Bank oder des Kunden, aber kein Teilnehmer, einschließlich der Bank, kann den Verlauf nachträglich ändern. Bank, Auditor und Regulator haben einen vollständigen Audit-Trail.
- Einfaches Modell: Der Token ist eine Protokollgebühr, reine Nutzbarkeit, und die Nachfrage kommt direkt aus der Compliance-Aktivität des Netzwerks.
🟢 Infrastruktur & Auflistung
- Das Protokoll läuft heute hauptsächlich auf Ethereum. - Migration zu Hedera geplant bis Jahresende, mit einer gemeinsamen Roadmap, die von Hedera bis 2027 unterstützt wird.
- Der Token, ab sofort auf SwissBorg verfügbar, ist auf Solana, gewählt wegen Liquidität und Volumen.
🟢 Schlusswort
- Cyrus weist darauf hin, dass der aktuelle Kurs weiterhin deutlich unter seinem Allzeithoch liegt, und sieht „RegTech“ und Identität als zentrale Themen für den kommenden Zyklus.
- Vincent hebt die gemeinsamen Schweizer Wurzeln und die gemeinsame Vision hervor: dem Einzelnen die Kontrolle über sein Vermögen zu geben, sei es nun sein Geld oder seine Daten.

🟢 Special edition with Cyrus and Vincent Pignon, Founder and CEO of Wecan Group.
🟢 Vincent's background
- Founder and CEO of Wecan Group, a Swiss company part of the SEALSQ group, listed on NASDAQ.
- A former professor at the University of Geneva, he has been teaching fintech, blockchain and crypto for many years and co-wrote a book on fintech in Switzerland.
- He worked with the State of Geneva on its blockchain and crypto roadmap, at the time when SwissBorg was being founded.
🟢 Identifying the industry's problem
- Every time an account is opened, the client has to send the same documents again and again, ID and proof of address.
- Each submission creates one more copy in one more database, at a bank, an insurer or a fintech, which means more risk for the client and for the counterparty alike.
- This is not an internal problem within a single institution, it is an industry-wide problem, one that digital identity and blockchain can address.
🟢 Origins and evolution of Wecan Group
- The company was founded 11 years ago as a spin-off from the University of Geneva.
- More than 100 clients today, mainly Swiss private banks, along with insurers, fintechs and financial intermediaries around the world.
- The first two clients, two major competing private banks, were looking for a single vault shared across their custodian banks. They went on to become the main sponsors and ambassadors of the solution.
- The solution also extends to the different entities of a same banking group: no more running the whole onboarding process from scratch when a client wants a product from their bank in Luxembourg or Dubai.
🟢 The product
- An AI-native copilot, multilingual in order to cover every jurisdiction.
- A relationship manager can open an account from a voice note on their phone, from notes, from a PDF or simply through the chat. The platform analyses the company and returns the risk scoring, the legal and historical information, the auditor and the board.
- It connects to existing tools, screening, core banking, portfolio management, and covers the entire client life cycle, from onboarding to perpetual KYC, for individuals as well as for companies and trusts.
🟢 solana:weCanDQdo6nobuM6of7FozmEmXLveaAwMsdMjEsstM2 Token utility
- The token addresses the audit trail: every compliance event is anchored on the blockchain as a cryptographic fingerprint.
- The data never leaves the bank's or the client's vault, yet no participant, the bank included, can alter the record after the fact. The bank, the auditor and the regulator all have a complete audit trail.
- A simple model: the token is a protocol fee, pure utility, and demand comes directly from the compliance activity across the network.
🟢 Infrastructure & listing
- The protocol currently runs mainly on Ethereum.
- A migration to Hedera is planned by the end of the year, with a joint roadmap supported by Hedera through 2027.
- The token, available on SwissBorg as of today, is on Solana, chosen for its liquidity and volume.
🟢 Closing words
- Cyrus points out that the current price remains far below its all-time high, and sees "RegTech" and identity as a core theme for the cycle ahead.
- Vincent highlights the shared Swiss roots and the same vision: giving individuals control over their assets, whether that means their money or their data.

🧵 WISeKey just presented:
“POST-QUANTUM BANKING 2030.”
WISeKey. Wecan. SEALSQ.
Identity. PKI. Trusted Data. Post-Quantum Semiconductors.
But follow the infrastructure connecting these pieces and one DLT keeps appearing:
Hedera.
It starts with @SEALSQcorp
In December 2024, SEALSQ announced a strategic partnership with @hedera through The Hashgraph Group to bring next-generation quantum-resistant semiconductor technology into the Hedera ecosystem.
The goal: protect critical infrastructure in a post-quantum world.
Then it became more concrete.
In March 2025, SEALSQ stated that Hedera and @WecanGroupSwiss were integrating its post-quantum security into their core infrastructure.
SEALSQ specifically named its QS7001 Post-Quantum Secure Chip.
For Hedera, SEALSQ said the QS7001 integration was intended to strengthen:
→ Transaction authentication
→ Network-level security
→ Digital signatures
→ Protection against future quantum threats
This wasn’t just a research discussion.
It was an infrastructure integration.
Now look at Wecan, another name on today’s “Post-Quantum Banking 2030” presentation.
In December 2025, Wecan received a grant from Hedera, represented by The @The_Hashgraph Association.
The funding supports quantum-resilient compliance systems, decentralized identity and secure data infrastructure.
And this is where the story gets really interesting.
SEALSQ explicitly stated:
SEALSQ, Hedera and Wecan are jointly developing integrated post-quantum KYC solutions.
The stated goal?
Accelerating quantum-safe security across the global financial sector.
That brings us to another WISeKey ecosystem project:
SEALCOIN.
This connection isn’t indirect.
SEALCOIN states:
“Built on Hedera Hashgraph DLT.”
Hedera provides the decentralized trust layer for autonomous machine-to-machine transactions.
And @Sealcoin_QAIT’s technology stack looks familiar:
→ Hedera DLT
→ PKI
→ Digital Identity
→ Secure Elements
→ Post-Quantum Cryptography
→ Autonomous transactions
In other words, several technologies appearing in today’s banking vision already converge inside the wider ecosystem.
Then came QAIT Q-Day.
WISeKey, SEALCOIN and
@hashgraphgroup expanded the collaboration toward quantum readiness, combining AI, digital trust and post-quantum security.
The objective: help organizations assess and prepare their infrastructure for the quantum era.
Now zoom back out.
Today @WISeKey presented:
POST-QUANTUM BANKING 2030
WISeKey + Wecan + SEALSQ
Identity • PKI • Trusted Data • Post-Quantum Semiconductors
And suddenly the previous announcements start forming a much bigger picture.
This does not prove that the entire Post-Quantum Banking 2030 architecture runs on @hedera
But the documented connections are difficult to ignore:
SEALSQ ↔ Hedera
Wecan ↔ Hedera
PQ-KYC ↔ Hedera
SEALCOIN → Hedera
QAIT Q-Day ↔ Hashgraph ecosystem
This is bigger than a single partnership.
Across post-quantum semiconductors, compliance, digital identity, trusted data and decentralized infrastructure, the same players keep converging.
WISeKey. SEALSQ. Wecan. Hedera.
Sometimes you have to zoom out to see the architecture.

🟢 Edition spéciale avec Cyrus et Vincent Pignon, Fondateur et CEO de Wecan Group.
🟢 Background de Vincent
- Fondateur et CEO de Wecan Group, société suisse intégrée au groupe SEALSQ, coté au NASDAQ.
- Ancien professeur à l'Université de Genève, il enseigne la fintech, la blockchain et la crypto depuis des années et a coécrit un livre sur la fintech en Suisse.
- Il a travaillé avec l'État de Genève sur sa feuille de route blockchain et crypto, à l'époque où SwissBorg voyait le jour.
🟢 Identifier le problème de l'industrie
- À chaque ouverture de compte, le client renvoie les mêmes documents, pièce d'identité et justificatif de domicile, encore et encore.
- Chaque envoi crée une copie de plus dans une base de données, chez une banque, un assureur ou une fintech, donc plus de risque pour le client comme pour la contrepartie.
- Ce n'est pas un problème interne à un établissement, c'est un problème global du secteur, que l'identité numérique et la blockchain peuvent adresser.
🟢 Origine et évolution de Wecan Group
- Société fondée il y a 11 ans comme spin-off de l'Université de Genève.
- Plus de 100 clients aujourd'hui, principalement des banques privées suisses, plus des assureurs, des fintechs et des intermédiaires financiers à l'international.
- Les deux premiers clients, deux grandes banques privées concurrentes, cherchaient un coffre unique partagé entre leurs banques dépositaires. Ils sont devenus les principaux sponsors et ambassadeurs de la solution.
- La solution s'étend aussi aux différentes entités d'un même groupe bancaire : plus besoin de refaire tout l'onboarding depuis zéro quand un client veut un produit de sa banque au Luxembourg ou à Dubaï.
🟢 Le produit
- Un copilote nativement basé sur l'IA, multilingue pour couvrir toutes les juridictions.
- Le gestionnaire peut ouvrir un compte depuis un vocal sur son téléphone, des notes, un PDF ou simplement le chat. La plateforme analyse la société et sort le scoring de risque, les informations légales et historiques, l'auditeur, le conseil.
- Elle se connecte aux outils existants, screening, core banking, gestion de portefeuille, et couvre tout le cycle de vie du client, de l'onboarding au KYC perpétuel, pour les personnes physiques comme pour les sociétés et les trusts.
🟢 Utilité du token solana:weCanDQdo6nobuM6of7FozmEmXLveaAwMsdMjEsstM2
- Le token adresse la piste d'audit : chaque événement de conformité est ancré sur la blockchain sous forme d'empreinte cryptographique.
- Les données ne quittent jamais le coffre de la banque ou du client, mais aucun participant, banque comprise, ne peut modifier l'historique après coup. Banque, auditeur et régulateur disposent d'une piste d'audit complète.
- Modèle simple : le token est un frais de protocole, pure utilité, et la demande vient directement de l'activité de conformité du réseau.
🟢 Infrastructure & listing
- Le protocole tourne aujourd'hui principalement sur Ethereum.
- Migration vers Hedera prévue d'ici la fin de l'année, avec une feuille de route commune soutenue par Hedera jusqu'en 2027.
- Le token, disponible dès aujourd'hui sur SwissBorg, est sur Solana, choisie pour la liquidité et le volume.
🟢 Le mot de la fin
- Cyrus rappelle que le prix actuel reste très en retrait du plus haut historique et voit dans la "RegTech" et l'identité un thème de fond pour le cycle à venir.
- Vincent insiste sur les racines suisses communes et la même vision : rendre aux individus le contrôle de leurs actifs, que ce soit leur argent ou leurs données.

Today, I am proud to announce the listing of the @WecanGroupSwiss Token on @swissborg — an important milestone, but also the beginning of a much larger opportunity.
We are entering a new financial era where it will no longer be enough to tokenize money. We will progressively tokenize assets, identities, data, machines, AI agents and economic interactions themselves.
And this new economy will need to be secure against the quantum threat.
This is where the combination of @WecanGroupSwiss , @WISeKey and @sealsqcorp becomes particularly powerful.
Wecan provides the trusted compliance layer — KYC, KYB, perpetual compliance and trusted financial data exchange.
WISeKey provides the digital identity and PKI infrastructure required to authenticate people, organizations and connected objects.
SEALSQ brings post-quantum semiconductors, secure elements and Hardware Roots of Trust, allowing identities, wallets, machines and transactions to be protected at the silicon level.
And WECAN Token has the potential to become the digital utility layer connecting these trusted interactions.
Think about the possibilities:
Tokenized real-world assets whose ownership and compliance are cryptographically verifiable.
AI agents capable of transacting only after their identity and authority have been authenticated.
Machines, vehicles, satellites and IoT devices with their own secure identities, wallets and economic relationships.
Reusable KYC, KYB and KYO credentials that allow institutions to verify trust without continuously exchanging sensitive information.
And financial assets protected by post-quantum cryptography before quantum computers make today's cryptographic infrastructure obsolete.
This is why KYO — Know Your Object — will become as important as KYC.
When billions of machines and AI agents begin transacting autonomously, the financial system must know not only who is behind a transaction, but also what is executing it, whether it can be trusted and whether it is authorized.
The architecture we are building is therefore:
Silicon → Post-Quantum Security → Identity → KYC/KYO → Compliance → Tokenization → Settlement
The listing of WECAN Token on SwissBorg is an important step toward making this ecosystem accessible.
SwissBorg has built regulated and transparent access to digital assets for hundreds of thousands of clients. Wecan has built compliance infrastructure trusted by more than 100 banks and financial intermediaries.
Same country. Same standards. Same conviction:
Trust must be engineered — not claimed. Imaging every object with a Trusted Swiss bank account. This is the opportunity of the #machineeconomy
