Reminder: The types and regulation of blockchain tokens in Germany

By Rico Green From Lexology

Bird & Bird LLP have an upcoming webinar next week on 12 November 2019, 14:00 UTC discussing the legal classification of crypto tokens which I believe would be of interest.

Speakers

Initial coin offerings (ICOs), often referred to as initial token sales or token generation events, and security token offerings (STOs) seek to transfer the world of finance and capital markets through distributed ledgers.

As a financing option based on the idea of crowdfunding, the product issued in an ICO or STO is a blockchain-based coin or token. Its technical design is as flexible as its associated rights.

This webinar covers the types and regulation of blockchain tokens in Germany, looking at tokens according to the rights that they convey.

By joining this webinar you will learn about:
• The technical structure of tokens;
• The legal and regulatory classification of tokens in Germany;
• Units of account or not – currency tokens;
• A symbol for rights and obligations – utility tokens;
• The tokenisation of capital markets – security tokens; and
• New developments under the implementation of the EU Fifth Anti-money Laundering Directive in Germany – the end of the German crypto market?

Date: 12 November 2019
Time: 14:00 UTC
