Envion AG, a crypto mining firm is under the radar, facing enforcement proceedings from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).Envion AG claimed to use clean and decentralized energy for powering its mobile units. The ICO for EVN token was completed in mid-January this year.

According to reports by FINMA, Envion AG had raised almost 100 million francs from over 30,000 investors. The proceedings are focussed on unauthorized token issuing leading to breaches of the banking law. FINMA has declined to comment further till the operations are over.
