Tokenization.. or how to disrupt the financial industry 101

Legal and practical underpinnings of the highly disruptive process of tokenization in the financial industry.

The tokenization of assets refers to the process of issuing a blockchain token that digitally represents a real tradable asset. A process further enabled in the Swiss regulatory environment with the recent entry into force of part of the DLT Bill on 1 February 2021.

Together, we discussed the legal and practical underpinnings of this highly disruptive process, set to radically impact the way companies can raise capital and the way assets are traded.
