The new Blockchain 4 Law

Luxembourg has always been at the forefront of using distributed ledger technology (“DLT”) in the context of financial services, making it one of the major digital assets hubs of the world. A key contributor to this success is Luxembourg’s progressive legislative framework, offering the required legal certainty, as well as an easy-to-use set of rules to market participants, to bring their projects to fruition. This in turn has favoured the emergence of tokenised bonds, investment funds, as well as other digital assets.

In a strategic effort to further enhance the existing legal framework, the legislator has now taken yet another significant step with a brand new blockchain law which was published on 27 December 2024 (the “Blockchain 4 Law”).
