[GENERAL] If YES, please describe what the dependency is and why you believe it is essential for your project’s delivery. If NO, please write “No dependencies.”

The success of the project depends on contractual relationships with the following partners: Liability umbrella investment brokerage, Security Agent, CSSF-regulated securitization company.

 

Additional information on CSSF-regulated securitization company:

Using a CSSF-regulated securitization company under Luxembourg law in a Swiss DLT-based electronic securities framework might appear counterintuitive, but there are specific strategic and regulatory reasons for this approach. Below are the key justifications:

Access to EU Markets

EU Equivalence Agreements: While Switzerland’s financial services sector benefits from EU equivalence agreements, these are primarily aimed at professional investors. Utilizing a CSSF-regulated securitization company ensures compliance with EU regulations for broader market access, particularly for projects targeting retail investors or mixed investor classes within the EU.

Cross-Border Scalability: Luxembourg’s securitization laws provide a recognized framework for issuing securities across the EU, avoiding potential barriers where Switzerland’s regulatory equivalence might not fully apply.

Securitization Law Advantages

Compartmentalization: Luxembourg’s securitization law allows for the creation of separate compartments for each project or investment, ensuring legal and financial segregation of assets. This structure aligns well with the tokenization of securities under Swiss DLT frameworks.

Flexibility for Complex Structures: Luxembourg offers significant flexibility for structured financial products, such as asset-backed securities or debt instruments, which can be tokenized and managed under Swiss DLT rules while complying with EU laws.

Regulatory Complementarity

Swiss DLT Act vs. CSSF Regulations: The Swiss DLT Act governs ledger-based securities, but when issuing securities aimed at cross-border investors, Luxembourg’s CSSF-regulated securitization vehicles provide complementary compliance for EU jurisdictions.

Institutional Confidence

Investor Trust: Institutional investors across Europe are familiar with Luxembourg’s securitization framework, which is widely recognized for its robustness and compliance with EU financial directives.

Operational Expertise: Luxembourg’s regulatory environment supports securitization companies with deep expertise in managing complex, multi-jurisdictional securities offerings.

Enhanced Liquidity and Infrastructure

Trading Venues: Luxembourg provides access to established trading venues and infrastructure for the distribution and trading of securities, complementing Swiss DLT platforms.

Eurozone Advantage: Using a CSSF-regulated entity allows seamless operations within the Eurozone, eliminating currency and jurisdictional barriers.

[GENERAL] Will your project’s output/s be fully open source?

No

[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

Our commitment to making our project fully open-source means dealing with significant legal complexities. We aim to maximize the open-source aspects of our project, but the complex legal environment around permissions, licenses, and intellectual property rights means we can't fully guarantee this. Legal restrictions might prevent us from open-sourcing some components, but we remain dedicated to embracing open-source principles as broadly as possible.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

A. How We Perceive the Problem

Key Takeaway: The biggest benefit for Cardano projects is the creation of a FINMA-compliant funding framework that removes barriers to institutional and qualified capital by providing a scalable, legally robust, and cost-efficient structure for electronic securities issuance.

Many Cardano projects face significant barriers to accessing funding, especially from institutional and qualified investor

a. Regulatory Complexity: Strict requirements from authorities like BaFin and MiCA create high compliance costs and procedural hurdles. 

b. Lack of Market Trust: Without a robust, legally compliant framework, projects struggle to gain the confidence of professional investors. 

c. Funding Inefficiency: Projects often lack scalable funding mechanisms tailored to their needs, limiting growth and innovation within the ecosystem.

The absence of a compliant and efficient structure for electronic securities issuance hinders Cardano’s potential to attract large-scale, long-term capital, leaving projects underfunded and unable to realize their goals.

 

B. Our Solution 

We propose a FINMA-compliant funding framework that allows Cardano projects to issue electronic securities under Swiss law, targeting professional investors and eligible counterparties.

Regulatory Alignment with Swiss DLT Act

a. Issuing ledger-based securities that are legally recognized and tokenized on Cardano’s blockchain.

b. Leveraging licensed DLT trading facilities for secondary market liquidity.

c. Ensuring clear, cryptographically secure ownership proof.

Investor Engagement:

a. Professional Investors and Eligible Counterparties: Streamlined processes with reduced regulatory burdens, offering attractive investment opportunities.

b. Retail Investors: Providing enhanced protections through prospectus requirements, suitability checks, and simplified disclosures.

Compartmentalized Investment Structure:

a. Each project’s funding is segregated into dedicated compartments, protecting assets and allowing tailored risk management.

Cost-Effective Compliance:

a. Private Placement Exemptions: Minimizing compliance costs for professional investors by utilizing FINMA’s exemptions.

b. Cross-Border Market Access: Using Switzerland’s EU equivalence agreements to extend market reach without duplicating regulatory efforts.

 

C. Why This Approach? 

Our approach leverages Switzerland’s innovation-friendly DLT Act and FINMA’s clear regulatory framework because:

1. Efficiency: Switzerland offers a simpler, more cost-effective compliance path compared to BaFin and MiC
2. Trust: FINMA’s globally recognized standards instill confidence in professional investors and eligible counterpartie
3. Scalability: The framework supports tailored solutions for projects of varying sizes while ensuring asset segregation and securit

 

D. Who Will Our Project Engage?

Our project engages:

1. Professional Investors: Banks, investment firms, pension funds, and high-net-worth individuals seeking compliant blockchain-based investments. 
2. Eligible Counterparties: Large financial institutions and supranational organizations, such as central banks and governments. 
3. Regulated Custodians and Trading Platforms: Key partners for asset custody and liquidit

In Switzerland, investor types are classified under the Swiss Financial Services Act (FinSA) into the following categories:

 

+ Additional information to understand different investor types and target group

a. Retail Investors

Definition: Individuals or entities that do not meet the criteria for professional investors.

Characteristics: Receive the highest level of protection under FinSA. Require suitability and appropriateness checks to assess risk tolerance and financial knowledge. Must be provided with detailed disclosures, including prospectuses and Key Information Documents (KIDs) for financial products. Examples: Individual investors without significant financial knowledge or experience.

b. Professional Investors

Definition: Investors deemed knowledgeable and capable of understanding financial risks without the need for extensive regulatory protections. Subcategories:

b1. Institutional Investors: Banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and regulated investment firms.

b2. Large Corporations: Companies meeting at least two of the following thresholds: Balance sheet total: ≥ CHF 20 million. Net turnover: ≥ CHF 40 million. Equity capital: ≥ CHF 2 million.

b3. High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs): Option 1: CHF 500,000 in investable assets and proven financial expertise. Option 2: CHF 2 million in investable assets without expertise.

 

c. Eligible Counterparties. Definition: Regulated entities and organizations with significant market experience and financial resources, requiring minimal regulatory protections. Examples: Regulated financial institutions (banks, credit institutions, insurance companies). Governments and central banks. Supranational organizations like the European Union (EU) or the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

d. Opted-Out Retail Investors. Definition: Retail investors who voluntarily waive their retail status to be treated as professional investors. Criteria for Opt-Out: Meet the HNWI thresholds for wealth and expertise. Sign a declaration acknowledging the risks of reduced protection.

 

E. How Will We Prove Impact? 

We will measure impact through:

1. Funding Secured: Tracking the total funds raised for Cardano projects. 
2. Investor Engagement: Demonstrating increased participation from professional investors and eligible counterparties. 
3. Market Liquidity: Evaluating trading volume and liquidity on licensed DLT trading platforms. 
4. Project Success: Monitoring the growth, adoption, and innovation of funded Cardano projects. 
5. Regular reporting, combined with blockchain transparency, ensures accountability and clear proof of succes

 

F. What is Unique About Our Solution? 

Our solution stands out due to:

1. FINMA Compliance: Leveraging Switzerland’s regulatory advantages for streamlined, legally robust funding mechanisms. 
2. Tailored Compartmentalization: Isolating each project’s funding to mitigate risks and enhance investor confidence. 
3. Cross-Border Reach: Expanding market access through Switzerland’s EU equivalence agreements. 
4. Blockchain Integration: Utilizing Cardano’s secure, scalable blockchain for ledger-based securities issuance

 

+ Additional information Cross-Border Reach

Switzerland’s equivalence agreements with the EU provide a significant advantage for Swiss-based financial services, including the issuance of ledger-based securities under the Swiss DLT Act. These agreements facilitate streamlined access to EU markets, allowing Swiss financial institutions and products to operate under similar regulatory conditions as EU-based counterparts without the need for duplicative compliance measures. Equivalence agreements are bilateral arrangements where the European Commission recognizes that a third country’s regulatory framework is equivalent to EU standards. This recognition simplifies cross-border operations by reducing legal and procedural barriers between jurisdictions. Benefits for Swiss-Based Issuers:

Access to EU Professional Investors and Markets:

Swiss issuers of electronic securities can target professional investors across the EU without requiring additional authorization or compliance with specific EU regulations like MiCA or BaFin rules. This simplifies the marketing and distribution of Swiss-compliant financial products.

Streamlined Operations:

Swiss entities benefit from reduced compliance costs as they do not need to restructure their offerings to meet EU regulations if equivalence applies. For example, prospectuses approved under Swiss FinSA may be recognized in the EU for professional investors, avoiding the need for duplicative approvals.

Enhanced Market Reach

Swiss issuers gain access to the EU’s large investor base, significantly increasing the potential capital available for projects. Cardano projects issued under Swiss law can be marketed and distributed efficiently across multiple EU countries.

 

G. Who Benefits and Why This is Important to Cardano?

1. Cardano Projects: Gain access to sustainable, scalable funding mechanisms. 
2. Investors: Receive secure, compliant opportunities to invest in blockchain innovation.
