    Endlich Rechtssicherheit? - Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetz stärkt Kundenrechte bei Insolvenz von Kryptoverwahrern
    2023-05-04

    Der Entwurf des Gesetzes zur Finanzierung von zukunftssichernden Investitionen (Zukunftsfinanzierungsgesetz („ZuFinG“)) vom Bundesministerium der Finanzen („BMF“) und dem Bundesministerium der Justiz („BMJ“) führt nicht nur elektronische Aktien ein, sondern stärkt auch Kundenrechte bei Insolvenz von Kryptoverwahrern. Zukünftig normiert das Kreditwesengesetz („KWG“), wie Kryptoverwahrer das von ihnen verwahrte Kundenvermögen schützen müssen und was mit dem verwahrten Kundenvermögen bei einer Insolvenz des Kryptoverwahrers passiert.

    2023-05-04

    Introduction

    The law is constantly developing to fit the ever-changing world. Most recently, with the digitalisation of the commercial landscape and the proliferation of cryptocurrencies, NFTs and metaverse-related businesses, the courts have had to apply or adapt the law to deal with novel situations.

    Das Wandeldarlehen - alles neu macht(e) der Mai?
    2023-04-26

    Wandeldarlehen sind ein bewährtes und seit Jahren fest etabliertes Finanzierungsinstrument für Start-ups. Ein Wandeldarlehen ist ein (in aller Regel unbesichertes) Darlehen verbunden mit einem Recht oder auch einer Pflicht zur späteren Wandlung der Darlehensforderung (zzgl. aufgelaufener Zinsen) (zumeist im Zuge der nächsten Finanzierungsrunde) in neu an dem Start-up auszugebende Gesellschaftsanteile. Hierbei werden Wandeldarlehen regelmäßig als flexibles Instrument gewählt, um mit geringem Aufwand eine Finanzierung zu erreichen.
