Swiss citizens are likely to vote in a future referendum on whether to enshrine the availability of cash in the constitution after an initiative to pre-emptively guard against digital money.

The campaigners of the ballot, a group called the Swiss Freedom Movement, this week said they had collected 157,422 signatures in support of such a plebiscite.
