Tokenization as a solution: A summary

Digitalisation is changing the market for investors and fund managers. A year ago, we would not have foreseen conflict in Europe or the current financial news on inflation and interest rates. It was not a time for large falls in crypto currencies nor for other news affecting the crypto eco system. It would be possible to think this is the end for digital assets. However, the use of digital technology both for process and for tokens in the funds sector is advancing notwithstanding the crypto currencies turmoil.

DigiShares took part in the webinar hosted by the CMS Funds Group held a webinar on the 22nd of June 2022 for fund managers and investors as part of a series on distributed ledger technology and tokenisation. The event was primarily to look into uses, benefits and examples of how digital assets are evolving and technology is being applied in the sector. However, given the news backdrop, there were some important questions:

·      Is the crypto news a game changer, a reason for pause or not?

·      Will tokenisation and digital technology continue to grow and how?

·      Is technology and regulation in a better shape?

Webinar Summary

Article: Tokenization Market in Europe: Predicted Growth, Regulation and Top Cases

Key points:

• Accredited investors are allowed to participate in private placements (the traditional type of fundraising during asset tokenization) in the EU without any limitations.
• There is no need to register a prospectus with the competent authorities if the offering amount is below a certain threshold. This figure varies from country to country. As a rule, it is from €5 million to €8 million.
