🌐 Jessica Stafford’s Research on Equity Tokens At Smart Contract Lab (SCL), Jessica Stafford Chong is exploring the regulation of equity tokens in Switzerland in her thesis: “Regulation of Equity Tokens: Overview of Current Developments and Outlook on Future Trends.” Her research examines the experiences of companies that have tokenized their shares versus those that haven’t. She also conducted interviews with key players like Sygnum Bank AG, LEXR, and Aktionariat AG to gain practical insights. Jessica aims to address the lack of literature on the impact of tokenization and uncover the barriers preventing wider adoption, offering a fresh perspective on current developments and future trends in this innovative space. At SCL, we are proud to support such innovative research, driving the conversation on technology and regulation forward. Stay tuned for her findings!
