Issuing shares in the form of tokens has significant operational advantages compared to traditional issuance. At the same time, such a tokenisation process requires an appropriate legal environment. Regulators in several countries are advanced in introducing supportive law adjustments and creating a legal basis for the centralised to decentralised financial infrastructure transformation.
The second main element in the development of tokenised securities/shares offering is the availability of supportive infrastructure.
On Friday, 23 April 2021 we hosted our Virtual Lunch in cooperation with Amazing Blocks and AlgoTrader. Learn more about legal and practical aspects of security/shares tokenisation from the perspective of market readiness, infrastructure and regulation with particular focus on Swiss and Liechtenstein legal frameworks by watching the recording of this event.
