#Crypto42 Token Summit; When a token qualify as security under Swiss Law (Ron...Elfriede Sixt
Tokens can qualify as securities under Swiss law if they are suitable for mass trading and represent fungible rights that are placed with more than 20 individuals, unless they are created especially for individual counterparties. Asset tokens always qualify as securities as they usually represent equity, participation rights, or bonds. Payment and utility tokens can qualify as securities if the intended platform or resource is not fully developed at the time of issuance or if the overriding purpose is investment rather than use of the platform or resource. To avoid qualifying as securities, payment or utility tokens should not be issued until the underlying platform exists and should not be promoted for listing on third party exchanges.

#Crypto42 Token Summit, #AI is the new Electricity (Sebnem Rushitschka)Elfriede Sixt
This document discusses using blockchain technology and tokens to optimize revenue from solar energy generation. Blockchain could be used for bookkeeping and monetizing small transactions of shifted, stored, saved, shared, or gifted electricity. This would incentivize contributors such as installers, maintainers, users, tenants, and owners. Different types of tokens are proposed for various uses, such as reward tokens for participation/loyalty or utility tokens for accessing a network. Exchanges could be set up to trade these "smart property tokens" as virtual commodities backed by real-world assets. The goal is to tokenize value from solar energy generation and create new ways to distribute revenue.
This document discusses the taxation of crypto-tokens from various perspectives. It examines how tokens should be classified based on their creation and the rights they confer. It then analyzes the potential tax consequences for both the issuer/seller and purchaser of tokens depending on the token classification. This includes considerations of whether activities like mining constitute an economic activity subject to tax. It also analyzes the tax treatment of initial and secondary sales of tokens classified as means of payment, participation rights, or future acquisition rights. Throughout, it emphasizes that substance over form and the parties' intent should determine the appropriate tax approach.

#Crypto42 Token Summit VC vs ICO (Marcel van der Heijden; Speedinvest)Elfriede Sixt
The document discusses perspectives on investing in initial coin offerings (ICOs) versus venture capital (VC) investing from the point of view of retail investors, VCs, and startups. For retail investors, ICOs provide easy access but come with information and volatility risks, while VC investing has complexity but more control. For VCs, ICOs present a new opportunity but challenge traditional processes and regulations. For startups, ICOs offer more funding flexibility but come with valuation and investor relations challenges compared to traditional VC funding. In conclusion, the crypto space currently involves many experiments that may fail but could create significant future value for survivors.
