.ch is owned by a foundation called “SWITCH”. If you trust them, it’s fine. I would guess they’ll be around for a while. https://www.switch.ch/about/foundatio

  > .ch is owned by a foundation called “SWITCH”. That's not entirely true. What happens for ccTLDs is that they're owned by the government, and administrative and technical management of the extension is delegated to a foundation/association. In the example of France (I'm French so I know it best), the .fr has been managed by the Afnic historically, but it's renewed every few years (5 I think?) by the government. Last time was 2021. In the case of ccTLDs you need to trust the associated government no matter what, more than the delegated registry.
