Sweden’s central bank is on a course to develop and road test its digital currency offering, e-krona, as it seeks to become a global leader in the fast-changing world of blockchain-technology–led currencies. Although e-krona does not considered as a crypto asset: Riksbank has made it clear that its digital money cannot be categorized as a crypto asset as it “has a state, a trusted actor, as issuer and that the state guarantees the value of the means of payment.” The SFSA has issued warnings for trading in virtual assets due to the risks identified, e.g. the lack of price and trade transparency as well as the absence of adequate consumer protection regulation.
