The latest milestone on the subject of digital assets in Germany is the introduction of e-shares in the eWpG through the adoption of the Future Financing Act (ZuFinG) in November 2023. This improves the previously established electronic bonds and crypto funds.?

The state of the art for implementation is digital ledger technology (DLT) and the use of a blockchain, although the eWpG is fundamentally formulated in a neutral manner open to all types of technologies.?

The development of the digital assets market is supported by the creation of a regulatory framework. This steers the market in an orderly manner and ensures legal certainty and planning for market participants.?

The following graphic shows an excerpt of the regulatory requirements that have already been introduced and are planned in relation to digital assets:?

According to a forecast by Statista, the market for digital assets in Europe will reach a volume of around 1 trillion euros in 2025 and will increase more than fivefold in the following five years.???

Surveys, e.g. by Laser Digital (Nomura Group) or Fidelity Digital Assets, also confirm the strong interest of professional investors in investing in digital assets and diversifying their investments.?

The question for asset managers is what this means for front-to-back processes, what advantages the new technologies offer, and which level of automation can be achieved here.?

We have identified a need for significant adjustments in the front office, middle office and back office space, whereby the adjustments should be tailored to the individual investment process and specific requirements.?

Anadeo theses:?

1. We assume that a hybrid approach will be pursued in the next few years because traditional assets will continue to be needed for many years to come. This requires the integration of digital assets into existing investment processes, which must be done individually for the requirements of the asset managers.?
2. The volume of digital assets will grow rapidly, so scalability and process automation are of great importance.?
3. In order to benefit from the growing market for digital assets and remain competitive, asset managers should now set the course for integrating digital assets into their own processes.?
4. The new technology offers the possibility of optimizing the process of providing collateral.?
