The Korona cryptocurrency, based on blockchain technology, was introduced by the Korona development team led by Jean-Marc Stiegemeier, a former Wall Street financial advisor. Korona will launch on March 26 in Switzerland, reports the Budapest Business Journal.

Part of Korona's business model is a specialized banking and payment platform that will operate under the supervision of Swiss financial authorities. The platform will also feature an online marketplace where merchants can upload their products and services.
