On October 22, 2025, Liechtenstein officially launched LTIN, a sovereign blockchain infrastructure operated by Telecom Liechtenstein. This new network aims to provide blockchain services compliant with European regulations for businesses and institutions, in partnership with firms such as Bank Frick and Bitcoin Suisse.
Liechtenstein Launches a State-Backed Blockchain
The Liechtenstein Trust Integrity Network (LTIN) was launched on Wednesday, October 22, 2025: It is 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 businesses. This marks the first time in the blockchain sector that a state-backed network has positioned 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 entities such as Bank Frick and Bitcoin Suisse. Indeed, the network operates under Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act (TVTG), adopted in 2019, while being aligned with the European MiCA regulation.
Franz Wirnsperger, president of LTIN, commented on this network:
LTIN is extending the scope of Telecom Liechtenstein’s national trust infrastructure for the digital age to blockchain by offering sovereign trust and integrity services for global markets from Liechtenstein.
This ensures that validation, identity verification, and transaction processing are carried out under national oversight—providing businesses with a foundation of trust to adopt this technology.
In addition, Liechtenstein—a small country with a population of 40,000—is striving to stand out through its environmental commitment: LTIN operates entirely on renewable energy. This effectively silences a common criticism of blockchain networks.
Already numerous partners
The network already includes well-known launch partners: Bank Frick, a Liechtenstein-based 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, which focuses on digital identities, QPQ, and Swiss Subnet, have joined the project from the very beginning to contribute to the network’s evolution.
The goal of this entire project is to ultimately facilitate the adoption of blockchain by large enterprises. It must be said that the timing is very favorable, given the growing popularity of stablecoins, discussions surrounding euro-pegged stablecoins, and the new crypto ETFs currently in development; all of this is drawing institutional investors to blockchain, as they, too, want their share of the pie before it’s too late. Here, Liechtenstein would offer an alternative to private infrastructures.
