The legally secure linking of assets with blockchain tokens (tokenization) is a central field of innovation and application of blockchain technology. Tokenization makes it possible to create a security in the functional sense that does not require the classic paper document. It is of particular significance in financial markets, as it may lead to a much larger group of assets becoming marketable and tradable. Tokenization also renders certain intermediates unnecessary and allows for further process automation, which could result in visible efficiency benefits. Tokenization has a key role to play especially with regard to Decentralized Finance (DeFi). The project group is conducting comprehensive research on the legal and technical aspects and policy implications of tokenization and its impact on financial markets.

Transatlantic Blockchain Law
Conference Proceedings | 15. Februar 2023
The “Transatlantic Blockchain Summit” took place in New York at the beginning of October 2022. It was part of the BMJ research project “Blockchain and Law”, which has been conducted at the Marburg Institute for the Law of Digitalisation since 2020. Around 30 academics, (legal) advisors and entrepreneurs from both sides of the Atlantic took part in the lectures, panel discussions and expert talks.
This publication is a collection of brief reports from the auditorium represented by staff members of the BMJ project. It aims at tracing the central lines of discourse and making them accessible to a broader professional public. At the same time, it is intended as a starting point and inspiration for ZEVEDI project group Tokenized Finance (ToFi).
