These and other regulatory differences, compounded by the stable and already-decentralized nature of Swiss government, make Switzerland the ideal jurisdiction for Crypto Valley, the rapidly growing successor to Silicon Valley based in Zug, a financial center.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8c0f\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Alongside its long list of clients, MME is now focussed on creating Blockchain Crypto Property (BCP) standards. The final BCP paper, to be published in August, will classify tokens under a range of asset classes and outline a quality checklist for various token models. These standards will simplify risk assessment and ensure that tokens issued in Switzerland will be globally listable and tradeable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1466\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/mme.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/mme.ch\">mme.ch<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MME_Switzerland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MME_Switzerland\">twitter.com\/MME_Switzerland<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"76e9\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p graf--trailing\"><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/consensys.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/consensys.net\">consensys.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/consensysmedia.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/consensysmedia.net\">consensysmedia.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/etherreview.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/etherreview.info\">etherreview.info<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/\/podcast\/the-ether-review\/id899090462?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/\/podcast\/the-ether-review\/id899090462?mt=2\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/\/podcast\/the-ether-review\/id899090462?mt=2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luka M\u00fcller and Dianne Schepers of\u00a0MME\u200a\u2014\u200athe Swiss law firm famous for running the Ethereum crowdsale\u200a\u2014\u200adiscuss jurisdictional constraints, Crypto Valley, novel crypto-asset classes and the \u201csecond wave\u201d of tokenization.
