Background: The think tank will officially release its first working paper titled "EU Token Regulation Paper", which builds on the “Token Regulation Paper” issued by the German Blockchain association in February 2018 (https://www.bundesblock.de/2018/02/10/token-regulation-position-paper/).

Subsequently, the EU group has grown to about 50 professionals from 20 European countries.

The "EU Token Regulation Paper" is a pan-European effort to shed long awaited light on the laws and regulations, tax and accounting questions applying to the issuance of tokens in a number of European jurisdictions. In addition to a broad evaluation of applicable token regulations with an EU-wide perspective, followed by detailed analyses for individual countries such as England & Wales, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, and Poland. A list of the contributing authors can be found in the paper. Further country sections will follow.

The (currently) European blockchain think tank, will be incorporated the same day as a Luxembourg based non-profit organization. It aims to bring leading professionals, lawyers and academics from European countries together to provide high quality research, policy recommendations, and analysis on a full range of issues concerning DLT and Blockchains, Cryptocurrencies and Cryptoassets.
