A cynical way to look at this will be that Switzerland had enabled people - corrupt politicians, dictators etc, especially from third world countries, hide money. They refused to divulge bank details citing privacy concerns. But in recent years details have come to light - either through leaked data or country actions. This has led to weakening of their infamous privacy rules.

With cryptocurrency's rise, it offers Switzerland a new way to continue their privacy bs. So, obviously they are going to embrace and enable.
