About the conference

About the conference

Not only the MiCA regulation, which will be effective for individual cryptoasset market players gradually from summer 2024 and with a transition period until summer 2026, but also several other legislative ventures adopted recently are creating a completely new and interesting regulatory and tax infrastructure alongside the already existing investment structures.
These include in particular changes and challenges in the areas of tokenization of securities (and possibly other assets), investing through crypto-assets, issuance of different types of tokens, collection and exchange of information for AML or tax and taxation purposes in Slovakia, and the possibility of shifting activities abroad from a regulatory as well as a tax perspective.
At the same time, this recently relatively accelerated development of the regulatory and tax framework for investment infrastructure in the field of cryptoassets creates today a much more legitimate space for market participants to inquire about the readiness and raise their expectations not only from financial institutions, but also from the National Bank of Slovakia, the Bratislava Stock Exchange and the Central Securities Depository.
After a successful regulatory and tax conference on the topic of creating investment structures in real estate, we decided to organise a similar conference, this time focusing on cryptoassets.
Its ambition is to be the only place that brings together all the relevant legal, regulatory, tax and practical answers when using cryptoassets in investment structures.
