In this episode of PayTechTalk, Biyan Mienert is my guest. We talk about current blockchain and DLT-related topics: MiCAR, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT).
We begin by briefly reviewing the current state of MiCAR legislation and assessing the recent criticism raised by the ECB as well as the European Parliament (“Berger Report”). We then discuss DeFi from a civil and regulatory perspective before turning to the hype topic of NFTs. In doing so, we classify NFTs in fact and in law.
Enjoy listening! This episode is only available in German.
