Interim rules restrict sell offers to verified, whitelisted or established sellers

According to press coverage of a company announcement dated 31 August 2026, Peach Bitcoin introduced interim rules from 1 September 2026 after it received a regulatory letter saying its compliance arrangement should be requalified. Sellers must be KYC-verified, whitelisted or have a sufficient trade record to post sell offers; purchases are capped at CHF 500 per transaction; and the platform's escrow co-signature is paused. The company described the measures as temporary while it appeals.
