Liechtenstein was one of the first countries in the world to regulate the digital asset industry.

Liechtenstein was one of the first countries in the world to regulate the digital asset industry. It started with the Blockchain Act in January, 2020. The law gives businesses regulatory and legal guidance regarding blockchain related services. These include tokenization of assets and rights involved classification of tokens based on utility, security and payment. It also included rules governing public offerings.
