Swiss Franc
The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein and is widely regarded as the world's premier safe-haven currency. Switzerland's political neutrality, strong banking secrecy tradition, low inflation history, and stable governance have made the CHF a refuge for international capital during periods of global uncertainty. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) actively manages the CHF exchange rate to prevent excessive appreciation, which would harm Switzerland's export-dependent economy. CHF is the sixth most traded currency globally.
US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, involved in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Established by the Coinage Act of 1792, the dollar transitioned to a pure fiat currency in 1971 when President Nixon ended its convertibility to gold — the collapse of the Bretton Woods system that had pegged all major currencies to the USD at fixed rates since 1944. Today the dollar serves as the global pricing currency for commodities including oil, gold, and most internationally traded goods.
