Daily refresh of public political statements
Effort MStatements were last ingested on 21 July 2025. A daily pipeline would keep this signal as current as the parliamentary one.
The catalogue widens the lens beyond parliament, but a stale corpus drifts further from reality every week. A daily pipeline keeps non-parliamentary signal as fresh as the parliamentary one.
Candidate questionnaire before federal elections
Effort MBefore each federal election, every candidate for the National Council and Council of States receives a short questionnaire on their stance toward cryptocurrencies. The responses supplement the parliamentary signal with a direct position statement.
Parliamentary signal only covers sitting members who file business. A questionnaire reaches new candidates whose stance would otherwise only become visible after they are elected.
Party programmes from France and Italy
Effort MExtend the country comparison with the official party programmes from France and Italy, alongside the already tracked Swiss, German, Austrian and US ones.
Switzerland borders both France and Italy, both have active crypto regulation at the national and EU level. Adding them closes out the obvious reference markets around Switzerland.
Telegram notifier for new political statements
Effort SInternal Telegram digest that pushes a message for every newly ingested crypto-relevant statement, mirroring the business pipeline notifier.
First step before a public channel. Once statements are ingested daily, an admin feed is needed to review and approve new finds as they come in.
Cantonal coverage
Effort LExtend tracking from the federal parliament to cantonal parliaments.
Would surface crypto-relevant business from every canton, and let us score Kantonsrat and Grand Conseil members on the same scale as their federal colleagues. Main issue: cantonal parliaments have only very few mentions of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies so far, so the signal is thin.
Editorial blog with insights and analysis
Effort LRegular pieces that draw conclusions from the tracking data: stance shifts over time, voting patterns by topic, how party programmes have evolved.
The data answers who and what. A blog turns it into so what. Most readers without a policy background want the interpretation, not just the numbers.
French and Italian interface
Effort MExtend the multilingual interface to French and Italian so all three major Swiss language regions can read the site in their official language.
Krypto Politik scores the federal parliament, which works in all four national languages. A German-English interface effectively excludes Romandie and Ticino, even though they account for a third of the politicians being tracked.
Public Telegram channel for crypto business updates
2026-05-14A subscribable channel that pushes new and updated crypto-relevant parliamentary business as they happen.
The detection and digest infrastructure already runs internally. Opening it as a public channel lets readers follow developments without having to check the site.
Country comparison of party programmes
2026-05-01Crypto and digital-asset mentions in the official party programmes of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the United States, side by side.
Crypto policy does not end at the border. Putting Switzerland next to its closest reference markets turns the data from a directory into a comparative read.
Daily lifecycle updates on tracked business
2026-04-29Status changes, Federal Council answers and proceedings refresh daily without re-scoring.
Major design refresh
2026-04-27New monochrome design system rolled out across every page.
The previous look read as generic SaaS. Krypto Politik is closer in spirit to journalism than to software, so the design now leads with typography, quiet surfaces and dense data instead of gradients and accent colours.
Coverage extended to ten years
2026-04-25The same pipeline applied retroactively to the prior five years to surface earlier debates and motions.
Daily detection of new parliamentary activity
2026-04-25Newly filed business is picked up, scored and published within a day.
Pipeline transparency
2026-04-25Every nightly scoring run is recorded and replayable on a public page.
The methodology is the contract; the pipeline page is the receipts.
Multilingual interface (German, English)
2026-04-25The full site is available in German and English, with locale-aware date formats.
SNB Bitcoin Tracker
2025-08-31Public view of the Swiss National Bank's listed-equity holdings, with crypto-exposed positions broken out.
Public methodology
2025-07-24Full disclosure of how stance is determined and what each signal contributes.
A score nobody can audit is just an opinion. Publishing the rules in full is what separates this from a punditry list.
Stance scoring for individual politicians
2025-07-19Every member of the National Council and Council of States is bucketed into Supportive, Neutral, Hostile or Undefined based on authorship, co-signatures and final-vote behaviour.
Crypto is a narrow lens, but voters and journalists rarely read every motion. Four buckets make ten years of voting and authorship legible at a glance.
Stance scoring for federal parties (Bundesparteien)
2025-07-19Member-level scores aggregated into a per-party distribution of crypto stance.
Public catalogue of political activity
2025-07-19Every tracked piece of business is browsable and filterable by stance, topic and centrality.
Tracking of public political statements
2025-07-19Statements made outside parliament (interviews, op-eds, speeches) are captured and attributed alongside the parliamentary signal.
Parliamentary signal misses members who rarely file motions but speak publicly. This widens the lens beyond who happens to push paper.
Coverage of crypto-related business in the Swiss federal parliament, last five years
2025-07-15Every motion, postulate, interpellation and bill in the National Council and Council of States was scanned for crypto relevance.
