France will push for the European Union to adopt a regulatory framework on cryptocurrencies similar to the one it brought in last week at a national level, becoming the first major country to do so, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said yesterday.

The French parliament last week approved a financial sector law that included rules aimed at tempting cryptocurrency issuers and traders to set up in France by giving them some official recognition while ensuring the country can tax their profits. Le Maire said in Paris at an event on blockchain technology:

“I will propose to my European partners that we set up a single regulatory framework on crypto-assets inspired by the French experience. Our model is the right one.”

The First German Security Token Offering (STO)

The Bitbond STO is the first German Security Token Offering. It has been reported that currently, the Bitbond STO token sale has reached EUR 1.8 million in investment.

The Bitbond token (BB1) is a transferable bond that is issued on the Stellar blockchain. BB1 holders receive five payments per year. Four of these payments constitute 4% fixed interest, to be paid out quarterly (1% per quarter).

Additionally, the BaFin approved prospectus includes a commitment from Bitbond to buy-back it’s BB1 tokens at the value of 1 EUR = 1 BB1 token, once the 10-year maturity period is reached. 

Who is Bitbond?

  • Bitbond has generated over 15 Million USD in loan volume from over 80 different countries
