The Swiss-China Legal Capital Market High-end Forum, organized by KAPITALMARKTFORUM SCHWEIZ and the Swiss Chinese Law Association, was recently held in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Thomas Wanger, former Mayor of Zurich, delivered an opening speech, and nearly one hundred lawyers from China, Switzerland, Germany, France as well as representatives from banks, fin-tech companies, wealth management institutions, cryptocurrency companies and other institutions attended the forum.
Llinks Partner Ms. Elva Yu was also invited to attend the forum and participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by the famous host from CNN's Finance Channel. Ms. Yu kindly shared in the discussion about the development and regulations of the blockchain industry in China, the progress and impact of the Chinese Central Bank's digital currency (DC/EP), and the legal and taxation issues involved in asset tokenization. After the forum, Ms. Yu communicated and exchanged views with the audience and participants on the investment issues involved in "the Belt and Road Initiatives" that were of great concern, and also on other issues such as how Swiss companies could make investment in China, which aroused an enthusiastic on-site response.
As the Greater Zurich Area is reputed to be the "Crypto Valley" of the world, this forum also held thematic discussion on topics of widespread concern, such as "how to issue security tokens in Switzerland" and "how International Wealth Organization and Swiss Bank build and operate funds, foundations or holding companies from the perspective of taxation and governmental supervision. As a grand dialogue platform, the forum successfully brought the most cutting-edge trends and developments to practitioners in related fields such as fin-tech, and strengthened communications among insiders from related industries. It is also our great vision that Llinks Law Offices will continue to collaborate with experts and practitioners to boost China's development in the fields of financial technology, blockchain, and digital currency.
