More than 170 economists signed this critical opinion on crypto assets. They point out the risks and potential damage. In the opinion, they propose 4 fundamental principles for dealing with crypto assets:
- Reject crypto assets that have a useless and harmful impact on the environment.
- Reject crypto assets that explicitly want to protect the anonymity of their owners for transactions above a certain threshold.
- Prevent the creation of a parallel monetary system free from the social constraints that apply to all other actors.
- Impose the same rules on all players who provide access to crypto assets as on traditional financial players.
Immotokens (consciously) passes all these principles:
- We have no harmful impact on the environment.
- We work with KYC modules that make anonymity impossible.
- We work within the current legal and fiscal framework.
- We follow the financial regulations and the FSMA.
What's more, we fall within the "useful innovation category" as they themselves cite:
Digital assets can shake up ingrained habits and introduce useful innovations, such as 'smart contractssign via blockchain technology, make the intermediaries in property transfers redundant or speed up cross-border payments.
Our mission is to democratise real estate investments. Thanks to smart contracts and blockchain technology, we can achieve this - an innovation to be proud of!
