SEALSQ Majority-Owned Wecan Group Partners with SwissBorg to List the WECAN Token
Rhea-AI Summary
SEALSQ (NASDAQ: LAES) announced that its majority-owned subsidiary Wecan Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Swiss digital-asset platform SwissBorg. SwissBorg intends to list the WECAN token, subject to completion of all required technical, regulatory and compliance procedures, and to welcome the Wecan community onto its platform.
SEALSQ moved from a 28.3% stake in Wecan in June 2025 to a majority position in June 2026, alongside a CHF 5 million commitment from the SEALQUANTUM Quantum Fund to accelerate Wecan’s AI-powered Compliance Copilot and post-quantum security roadmap. Wecan’s compliance infrastructure is used by more than 100 banks, insurers and other regulated institutions. According to SEALSQ, integrating Wecan’s regtech platform with SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography, PKI and secure semiconductors supports a vertically integrated, quantum-resistant digital-trust ecosystem and extends Wecan’s reach into regulated digital-asset markets through the proposed WECAN token listing on SwissBorg.

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Collaboration Brings Together Two Swiss Technology Companies Advancing Trusted Digital Infrastructure, Regulatory Compliance and Broader Access to Digital Assets
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or the “Company”), a global leader in semiconductors, PKI and post-quantum technology, today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Wecan Group SA (“Wecan”), has entered into a strategic partnership with SwissBorg, a Swiss digital-asset platform.
As part of the collaboration, SwissBorg intends to list the WECAN token and welcome the Wecan community to its platform, subject to the completion of all applicable technical, regulatory and compliance procedures.
The partnership brings together two Swiss technology companies with a shared commitment to increasing trust, transparency and accessibility within the digital economy. Wecan provides institutional-grade compliance and data-management infrastructure, while SwissBorg offers a regulated platform through which users can access and manage digital assets.
Strengthening SEALSQ’s Digital-Trust Ecosystem
SEALSQ acquired an initial
The investment forms part of SEALSQ’s strategy to integrate post-quantum cybersecurity, semiconductor-based hardware roots of trust, PKI and trusted identity technologies into regulated financial and institutional workflows.
Wecan’s platform automates key parts of the compliance lifecycle, including Know Your Customer (“KYC”), Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”), client onboarding and the secure exchange of compliance information. Its solutions are used by more than 100 banks, insurers, financial intermediaries and other regulated organizations.
By combining Wecan’s compliance expertise with SEALSQ’s post-quantum cryptography and secure-semiconductor capabilities, the companies are working toward a new generation of quantum-resistant compliance and digital-identity solutions designed for financial institutions and other regulated industries.
The proposed listing of the WECAN token on SwissBorg is expected to expand access to the Wecan ecosystem while increasing its visibility among SwissBorg’s international community.
“Wecan built a compliance infrastructure that regulated institutions already trust, and SwissBorg built a regulated platform that hundreds of thousands of clients trust. Both were built in Switzerland, under Swiss standards, by teams that believe trust has to be engineered rather than assumed," said Carlos Moreira, Chairman and CEO of SEALSQ. "Bringing them together extends Wecan's infrastructure into the regulated digital-asset market, and it reflects exactly why we took a majority position in the company. Wecan is a core component of SEALSQ's strategy to build a vertically integrated, post-quantum digital-trust ecosystem. Financial institutions need more than digitalization — they need verifiable identities, protected data, provable compliance and security capable of resisting future quantum-computing threats. This collaboration shows how Swiss innovation can connect institutional-grade trust infrastructure with the emerging digital-asset economy. Sovereign, auditable, quantum-resistant infrastructure is not an ambition for us. It is the product we are building, one layer at a time.”
“Wecan was built on a simple principle: in finance, trust must be verifiable rather than assumed,” said Vincent Pignon, Founder and CEO of Wecan. “Our platform applies this principle every day for regulated institutions. Selecting a Swiss platform with a strong focus on regulation, transparency and compliance was therefore essential to us. We are pleased to collaborate with SwissBorg and introduce our community to its platform.”
A Swiss-to-Swiss Collaboration
Founded in Switzerland, Wecan has established a trusted ecosystem through which regulated institutions can manage compliance information efficiently and securely. SwissBorg will support the introduction of Wecan and its technology to its community through a phased communications program, including founder content, educational materials and market commentary.
The precise date on which the WECAN token will become available through SwissBorg will be communicated separately following the completion of the applicable listing, technical and compliance processes.
Cyrus Fazel, CEO and Co-Founder of SwissBorg, noted. “At SwissBorg we have always believed that trust is what turns a crypto product into a wealth management platform. Wecan has engineered compliance infrastructure that Europe's leading institutions already rely on, and listing the WECAN token lets our community back the rails that make regulated digital finance credible. It is a natural fit: two Swiss teams building for the same standard.”
