© 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 13
• In August 2018 American company tzero completed their security token offering
raising 134 million US dollars at a valuation of 1.5 billion US dollar
• A recent 100m EUR covered bond offering conducted by Société General used
Ethereum as a platform (Fould-Bacquart, 2018)
• Fundament Group, the Germany-based end-to-end security issuance solution for
asset tokenization, has received approval from the German Financial Market
Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to distribute the country’s first blockchain-based
real estate bond. The bond is backed by a portfolio of properties in major cities

GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Research on Singapore
© 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 20
• Singapore’s, (…) regulatory approach towards open
digital token offerings, and rules on foreign
investment and visitors – some of the most open in
the world, and less-restrictive than those in
Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S.– drew Asia-
based projects to Singapore …
• In October 2018, the MAS’s Managing Director Ravi
Menon stated that the MAS had “seen quite a lot of
[digital token offering] activity that is not security
related”
• The open digital token offering can enable projects
to simultaneously: 1) raise funds for the
development of a project’s network, platform, or
service; 2) build up a user-base; and 3) incentivise
globally-dispersed communities of developers to
contribute to a project.

Full paper by Greene and Lee, 2019:
GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Switzerland
© 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 21
GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Case Study Switzerland
© 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 22
• First fully licensed bank that can
handle digital assets end-to-end
• Source of Fund Check method for
cryptocurrencies approved by
regulator
• Advisory board consisting of
traditional (ex UBS CEO) and
digital (Kyber Founder) financiers
• Innovative products for Fund
Management (index taking into
account github activity, etc.)
GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Lichtenstein

GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Regulatory Update from Liechtenstein
© 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 24
• Token Container Model (TCM): A token serves as a container with the ability to hold rights of all kinds. The
container can be “loaded” with a right that represents a real asset such as real estate, stocks, bonds, gold,
access rights, money.
• But the Token Container Model makes very clear that a security token is nothing else than a security (with all the
rules, licenses, duties etc. applying to it) technically “packaged” into the token which loads the security like a
container.
• One of these new roles is the so-called physical validator. His role is to integrate the physical world into the digital
world.
• Liechtenstein amended its civil law to allow the token world to have priority over the physical world for the cases
where tokens exist for rights and assets.

  • 24. GLOBAL TOKEN DATA: Regulatory Update from Liechtenstein © 2019 Lightbulb Capital – Not for public distribution | 24 • Token Container Model (TCM): A token serves as a container with the ability to hold rights of all kinds. The container can be “loaded” with a right that represents a real asset such as real estate, stocks, bonds, gold, access rights, money. • But the Token Container Model makes very clear that a security token is nothing else than a security (with all the rules, licenses, duties etc. applying to it) technically “packaged” into the token which loads the security like a container. • One of these new roles is the so-called physical validator. His role is to integrate the physical world into the digital world. • Liechtenstein amended its civil law to allow the token world to have priority over the physical world for the cases where tokens exist for rights and assets.
