Overview
Together with our partner Lexology, we organised the webinar “FinTech Market: Regulation of crypto assets in Germany and the EU”.
The webinar provided an overview of the current regulatory landscape in Germany for crypto assets and crypto service providers. In addition, a look was taken at the European level, where uniform legislation for the regulation of crypto-assets is already emerging.
The following topics were covered:
- Regulatory classification of crypto-assets in Germany
- Licensing requirements in connection with crypto-assets and crypto-services
- Overview of the regulatory requirements for institutions regulated in Germany
- Draft European crypto regulation, in particular the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (“MiCAR”)
- Passporting of licences within the EU
