On October 22, 2025, Liechtenstein officially launched LTIN, a sovereign blockchain infrastructure operated by Telecom Liechtenstein. The new network aims to provide European-compliant blockchain services for businesses and institutions, with partners such as Bank Frick and Bitcoin Suisse.
Liechtenstein launches state-backed blockchain
The Liechtenstein Trust Integrity Network (LTIN) was launched on Wednesday, October 22, 2025: a blockchain network majority-owned by the state-owned operator Telecom Liechtenstein, which will be used to offer MiCA-compliant services to European and global companies. This is the first time in the blockchain sector that we have seen a state-backed network positioning itself as a digital extension of the country’s national telecommunications services.
Liechtenstein’s goal is to secure digital transactions and identities under national control, in partnership with players such as Bank Frick and Bitcoin Suisse. The network operates under Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act (TVTG) adopted in 2019, while also being aligned with the European MiCA regulation.
Franz Wirnsperger, president of LTIN, had this to say about the network:
LTIN extends the reach of Telecom Liechtenstein’s national trusted infrastructure for the digital age to blockchain by offering sovereign trust and integrity services for global markets from Liechtenstein.
In this way, it ensures that the validation, identity, and processing of transactions are carried out under national supervision, providing companies with a basis of trust for adopting this technology.
In addition, Liechtenstein, a small country with a population of 40,000, is trying to set itself apart through its environmental commitment: LTIN runs on 100% renewable energy. This silences a criticism often levelled at blockchain networks.
Already many partners
The network already has recognized launch partners: Bank Frick, a Liechtenstein bank specializing in cryptocurrencies; Bitcoin Suisse, a leader in Swiss crypto services; Solstice, a provider of blockchain solutions; and Zilliqa, a scalable platform for smart contracts.
Other entities such as Inacta Group, an expert in blockchain development, the LUKSO Foundation, focused on digital identities, QPQ, and Swiss Subnet have joined the project from the outset to contribute to the evolution of the network. The goal of this entire project is to ultimately facilitate the adoption of blockchain by large companies.
It must be said that the timing is very favorable, given the democratization of stablecoins, discussions around euro stablecoins, and new crypto ETFs in development. All of this is attracting institutional investors to blockchain, who also want their share of the pie before it’s too late. Here, Liechtenstein would offer an alternative to private infrastructures.
