The new Swiss DLT Act aims at improving the legal framework for digital assets held on distributed ledgers by amending various existing laws rather than regulating digital assets in a separate stand-alone regulation. The DLT Act introduces DLT rights as a new concept for rights registered on distributed ledgers. It also expands the right of investors to set-aside crypto-assets held in custody. The DLT Act will amend the current Swiss regulation by introducing a new licence category for trading venues where securities registered on distributed ledgers may be traded.
