Crypto Industry News:
Federal regulators in Germany want to modernize domestic securities with Blockchain technology.
The German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) and the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection (BMJV) have presented a bill on digital securities based on the Blockchain chain. In an official statement, the authorities stressed that the adoption of digital securities is one of the main aspects of the federal government's Blockchain strategy.
According to the law in force in Germany, financial instruments that are classified as securities must be secured by a document. Blockchain technology would thus help guarantee fluidity and compliance by providing a replacement for a paper certificate, the BMF and BMJV said. According to the authorities, the proposed bill also improves regulatory clarity by anticipating that the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority will act as the lead regulator for Blockchain-based e-shares.
The agency, also known as BaFin, will be responsible for monitoring the issuance of digitized securities and keeping decentralized books under German banking law, an official statement says.
