GOVERNMENTAL INFLUENCE ON CRYPTO ASSETS IN FINANCE

A CASE STUDY OF GERMAN REGULATORY INITIATIVES

Summary/Abstract: We review the case study of Germany with its regulatory initiatives regarding the possible governmental influence on crypto assets in finance. In doing so, we conclude that regulation shows adequate tendencies to foster innovation and adaption of digital assets such as crypto securities or currencies. This can mainly be referred to as creating a legal framework in favor of consumer protection, thereby reducing operational and reputational risks for financial companies which seek to engage in the digital assets business.
