Bank in Liechtenstein, Union Bank AG announced in a press release that it is issuing its own security tokens and an internal cryptocurrency supported by Fiat.
Union Bank, which this year is increasingly focused on Blockchain, said the issue of the so-called "Union Bank Payment Coin (UBPC)" was the next step towards becoming a "full-service investment bank, Blockchain".
UBPC will act as a stablecoin, as the institution explained, and will have support for currencies such as the Swiss franc.
Our goal is to become the world's first Blockchain investment bank and provide tangible solutions that help increase efficiency, reduce the cost base and open up new revenue opportunities for both our clients and agents. Therefore, our "Union Bank Payment Coin" supported by the currency can potentially change the approach to international trade and international cross-border transactions.

In the same week, news appeared that in this small European principality, Binance, one of the main cryptocurrencies, launched a fiat-crypto exchange. Both Binance and Union Bank praised the pro-Blockchain attitude of jurisdiction.
