The concept, feasibility questions and point at which regulation begins. The observations below provide a strategic framework for discussion and are not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific professional advice.

01

A digital representation is not the asset

A token may represent rights or interests connected to an underlying asset, but enforceability depends on the legal, contractual, custody and operational structure.

02

Feasibility is multidisciplinary

Assess asset eligibility, holder rights, transfer rules, governance, technology, custody, settlement, valuation, liquidity assumptions and the intended client base.

03

Regulation depends on substance

Token classification and required permissions depend on the actual rights, activities, promotion and jurisdiction. Licensed counsel and regulated entities may be required.
