The basic requirements for those who want to operate under the sandbox are compliance with AMLA provisions and affiliation to a self-regulatory organization. In addition, the company must be officially listed in the
Swiss Handelsregister (Trade Register), which ensures transparency of business operations and legal recognition of its activities. Also, as was already mentioned, deposits amounts shall not exceed CHF 1 million.
Besides, sandbox actors should inform the depositors, in writing or by any other means allowing establishing the proof of it by a text, before they make the deposit:
1. That it is not supervised by FINMA, and
2. The deposit is not covered by the deposit guarantee. [2]
It's worth noting that some innovative financial models using the sandbox may operate in parallel with other structures, such as
Swiss foundations, which offer strategic benefits for tokenized assets, donations, or long-term asset management.
