eWpG: Gesetz über elektronische Wertpapiere mit Börsen-, Prospekt-, Depot-, Schuldverschreibungs-, Aufsichts- und Investmentrecht

The law on the introduction of electronic securities creates the basis for issuing electronic securities without securitisation in paper-based documents as central register or crypto securities with the eWpG. The law makes a significant contribution to the digitalisation of securities law and its forward-looking opening to new technologies. The civil law innovations are carried out together with accompanying adjustments in stock exchange, prospectus, custody, debt bonds, supervisory and investment law. The commentation covers the entire eWpG, including notes on eWpRV and KryptoFAV. The work shows the practice-relevant cross-connections and explains the legal innovations in BörsZulV, WpPG, DepotG, SchVG, KWG, FinDAG and KAGB in separate appendices. Particular attention is paid to the technological aspects of dematerialization of securities. The commentators are renowned professionals from universities, companies in the financial sector and leading law firms who contribute to the digital future of the German financial centre with their expertise. The commentary provides lawyers with all the necessary explanations for the practical handling of electronic securities.
