Clarifying the path towards tokenization through connecting, educating, and identifying what is needed.
The multi-disciplinary aspect of tokenization implies that representatives from various parts of society all need to engage, reflected in the foundation's participants and the support from multiple ministries, the industry, universities, and many other (international) institutions.
In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, hosts Alex Bausch and Jonny Fry welcome back Anthony Abell - CEO and co-founder of TPX Property Exchanges Group. While his previous appearance focused on the vision behind property tokenisation, this conversation turns to the infrastructure needed to make digital real estate markets a reality.
Anthony explains how TPX is working with governments, land registries, regulators and financial institutions to transform property titles into legally recognised digital assets that can be transferred, financed and settled more efficiently. Rather than simply digitising ownership, the goal is to build the legal and technical foundations for a new generation of property markets.
They also discuss how London Digital Escrow supports this ecosystem through self-custody technology and secure digital settlement, reducing transaction risk while enabling faster, more transparent exchanges. From digital identity and cross-border interoperability to the growing role of agentic AI, the conversation looks beyond tokenisation itself and toward the infrastructure that will define the next generation of financial services.
Together, they analyse what it takes to move from promising pilots to real-world adoption and why collaboration between technology providers, regulators and public institutions is essential for scaling digital asset markets.
Whether you're working with digital asset infrastructure, settlement technology or real estate, this episode provides an inside look at the building blocks of tomorrow's property ecosystem.

How do you investigate financial crime on-chain in a market where many institutions still don’t fully understand the risks?
In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, hosts Alex Bausch and Jonny Fry sit down with Liande Visscher, co-founder of BARP (Blockchain Analysis Reporting Platform), to explore the growing role of blockchain analytics in the token economy.
Liande explains how BARP helps banks, exchanges and other gatekeepers investigate wallet activity, assess source of funds, and spot red flags in blockchain-based transactions. As digital assets become more embedded in financial markets, the need for practical tools, and practical understanding around blockchain investigations is only increasing.
The conversation explores where financial crime risks actually emerge in digital asset markets, why knowledge gaps still leave institutions vulnerable, and how compliance needs to evolve alongside tokenization. From wallet tracing and due diligence to the responsibilities of intermediaries under MiCA, it offers a practical look at what blockchain oversight really requires in practice.
Rather than treating compliance as a box-ticking exercise, Liande makes the case for a more investigative, prevention-focused approach: one that helps organisations identify risks earlier, ask better questions, and build the confidence needed to operate in digital assets responsibly.
Whether you work in compliance, regulation, tokenization or digital asset infrastructure, this episode offers a grounded perspective on the future of blockchain oversight—and the role analytics will play in making the token economy safer and more transparent.

Can local communities truly take control of their own energy, and what’s standing in the way?
In this episode of the Two Tokens Podcast, recorded at Bird & Bird during the third regulatory sandbox cohort, host Alex sits down with Meijndert Jansberg (Energy Blocks) and Andries Metz (Amelander Energie Coöperatie) to explore The future of decentralised energy.
Andries shares how the Ameland-based cooperative one of the first in the Netherlands, scaled to over 1,200 customers by funding solar parks through local participation and long-term reinvestment. Meijndert explains how Energy Blocks uses blockchain to open up energy investments, making it possible for individuals to co-invest in energy assets.
The conversation dives into the contrast between bottom-up cooperatives and more scalable, finance-driven platforms, while unpacking concepts like energy sharing, tokenisation, and why access to local kilowatt-hours could matter more than financial returns.
They also tackle the real challenges: regulation, the role of energy retailers, and the need for more professionalisation within cooperatives. With insights from across Europe, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of where decentralised energy stands—and what it will take to make it work.

What happens when renewable energy meets tokenization and then runs straight into regulation? In this episode, the answer unfolds through a deep dive into one of Europe’s most forward-looking experiments: the EU Blockchain Regulatory Sandbox.
Host Olivier Rikken is joined by Edgar Kampers (Co-Founder of Hypha Energy) and Johannes Wirtz (Partner at Bird & Bird) to unpack their hands-on experience participating in Cohort 3 of the Sandbox. Together with organizations like ABN AMRO, EnergyBlocks, Ameland Energy Corporation, and others, they explored a complex but increasingly relevant question: how can tokenization enable renewable energy communities to function more efficiently and stay compliant?
Edgar breaks down how renewable energy communities are reshaping the energy system, from rooftop solar to shared local infrastructure like wind, batteries and EV charging. At the heart of it all is a new model: energy credits - tokenized representations of locally produced energy that can be distributed, traded, or even gifted within a community. The promise? Lower costs, reduced grid congestion and stronger local resilience.
Johannes brings the legal lens, guiding listeners through the regulatory maze surrounding these tokens. Are they crypto-assets under MiCA? Do they qualify as asset-referenced tokens, e-money tokens or something else entirely? And how does the concept of a “limited network” exemption shape what’s possible without triggering heavy regulatory requirements?
From micro-accounting via smart contracts to the practical realities of billing, governance and compliance, this episode connects the dots between technology, regulation and real-world energy use. It also highlights a key takeaway from the sandbox: innovation isn’t being stopped by regulation - but it does require careful design, ongoing dialogue and a willingness to navigate ambiguity.

What do 17th-century Dutch coffee houses, paper share certificates in wheelbarrows, and today’s digital asset markets all have in common? In this episode you'll find out, they’re all part of the same story: the evolution of financial market infrastructure.
Hosts Jonny Fry and Alex Bausch are joined by Oliver Margolis, Head of Product at ClearToken, for a candid explanation of the unseen systems that make markets work: the pipes and plumbing most people never think about until something breaks. The birth of public companies, Lloyd’s of London, the role of clearinghouses, central securities depositories, and regulation, the conversation tracks how trust, risk, and settlement have evolved over centuries.
Oliver explains how clearinghouses sit between counterparties to reduce risk, unlock capital, and prevent the “black swan” events that have repeatedly shaken the crypto industry. Using everyday examples, such as buying a coffee, this episode breaks down delivery versus payment (DVP), net settlement, and why pre-funding trades in crypto is a relic institutions can no longer afford.
The episode also marks a major milestone in ClearToken’s journey. Fresh from UK regulatory approval, Jonny, Alex and Oliver discuss launching live operations with tens of thousands of trades on day one and becoming the first firm admitted to the Bank of England’s Digital Securities Sandbox. From tokenised bonds and digital gilts to the future role of AI in capital markets, the discussion goes well beyond crypto, and toward a world where any asset, from securities to energy, can be traded, settled, and reused efficiently.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, hosts Jonny Fry and Alex Bausch welcome back Antony Abell, CEO of TPX Property Exchanges, for a wide-ranging conversation that begins with a simple question and quickly opens into something much bigger: what if property itself could move like money?
Recorded during a Masterclass final ceremony day, the discussion traces the evolution of tokenisation away from crypto speculation and toward its most powerful real-world application: real estate. Antony explains how TPX has spent years working with regulators, land registries, central banks, and governments to build a system that allows homeowners to effectively “IPO” their properties by fractionalising the legal title itself, not a fund, SPV, or proxy structure. The result is a model that turns one of the world’s most illiquid assets into something tradable, programmable, and globally interoperable.
As the conversation unfolds, the group explores how this approach could solve the long-standing asset-rich, cash-poor problem faced by homeowners, while simultaneously opening the door for younger generations and global investors to access property ownership in entirely new ways. The episode moves between history and modern market structure, revealing that the idea of property-backed money is far from new. What’s changed is the technology that now allows it to operate at speed, with transparency, and within existing legal frameworks.
Antony also shares TPX’s vision for an emerging asset-based economy, where real estate functions as inflation-resistant money and settles instantly across global payment rails. From family offices and institutional liquidity to sovereign legal frameworks and taxation, the discussion highlights why property tokenisation may represent one of the most significant shifts in financial infrastructure this generation will see.

In this episode of the 2Tokens podcast, host Erich Schnoeckel (2Tokens) is joined at Osborne Clarke in Amsterdam by Johannes de Jong (Osborne Clarke) and Max Costet (Fireblocks) for an in-depth conversation on the future of tokenization in the Netherlands and Europe.
Building on earlier work with AFME on the future of the European token economy, the discussion zooms in on the Dutch perspective: where the market stands today, what is already technically possible, and what is still holding large-scale adoption back. Johannes shares his regulatory and legal insights from years of working with crypto assets, MiCAR licensing, and financial regulators, while Max explains how institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure has matured and why technology is no longer the main bottleneck.
Together, they reflect on the October 8th roundtable at De Nederlandsche Bank with regulators, ministries, law firms, and technology providers. Key themes include collaboration between public and private stakeholders, the role of regulators stepping “out of the ivory tower,” and the need for concrete use cases to move from discussion to action, such as issuing Dutch government bonds on a blockchain.
The episode also explores:
- Why the Netherlands has strong fundamentals to lead in tokenization
- Lessons from countries like Luxembourg
- Public vs. permissioned blockchains
- Stablecoins, government bonds, and secondary markets
- Legal hurdles, property law, and risk management
- What the next concrete steps should be to make tokenization work at scale

In this episode host Alex Bausch (2Tokens) sits down with Michel Chatelin and Joanne Zaaijer from Osborne Clarke for an in-depth conversation on digital energy, tokenization, and data sharing in Europe’s evolving energy landscape.
Recorded during the Digital Energy Masterclass at Osborne Clarke’s Amsterdam office, this episode explores what “digital energy” really means. Michel explains how traditionally physical energy systems such as electricity grids, pipelines, meters etc. are being transformed by adding a critical data layer. This combination of physical infrastructure and digital data enables smarter grids, new flexibility services, and innovative community-based energy models.
Joanne brings the data and privacy perspective, drawing on her extensive experience as a privacy and data protection lawyer. She explains GDPR, consent, and data sharing, explaining why data doesn’t need to be feared, and how carefully designed legal frameworks can actually enable innovation rather than block it. Together, the speakers explain why “data is the new gold,” and how lessons from sectors like healthcare and finance can help the energy sector move faster and more confidently.
A major focus of the episode is tokenization in the energy sector. Michel shares insights from the European regulatory sandbox and the Power of the Many project on the island of Ameland, where locally produced energy, assets, and participation rights are tokenized to support peer-to-peer energy sharing. First within communities, and eventually between communities. The conversation highlights the difference between simple digitization and true digitalization of value, and why that distinction matters legally and economically.
The episode also tackles big questions head-on:
- Does regulation slow down innovation, or is lack of clarity the real issue?
- How can Europe balance strong consumer protection with the need for faster energy transition?
- What does the upcoming Energy Act mean for access to smart meter data, ownership, and consent?
- And how do we make all of this simple enough for end users who ultimately just want lower bills and better services?
In short, this episode offers a clear and practical look at how law, technology, and tokenization are coming together to shape digital energy in Europe.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jos Röling welcomes Vincent van Kalkeren and Ali Karademir from EUTO Energy to explore how software-defined solutions are transforming the way we manage electricity grids.
EUTO Energy is addressing one of today’s most urgent challenges in the energy transition: net congestion. As electrification accelerates and renewable energy sources grow, traditional, hardware-centric systems are no longer sufficient to manage the increasingly dynamic and decentralized flow of power. EUTO’s answer is a virtualized, software-centric energy network that makes grids smarter, more flexible, and far more efficient.
During this conversation, we cover:
- The problem of net congestion: why current distribution networks are hitting their limits and how this impacts businesses and consumers.
- Traditional vs. software-defined approaches: how EUTO replaces dozens of hardware devices with a single software stack that can adapt in real time.
- Adaptive protection and control: enabling dynamic safety margins instead of static settings, unlocking hidden capacity in existing infrastructure.
- Real-world applications: from substations and transmission grids to industrial parks, microgrids, and even island-based off-grid projects.
- Business model implications: how utilities and operators used to think in 30-year hardware lifecycles, and how subscription-based, service-driven models are changing the landscape.
- Cybersecurity and reliability: ensuring that cloud and edge-based solutions remain secure, redundant, and trusted by operators.
EUTO Energy’s vision draws inspiration from the telecom industry’s transformation, where intelligence shifted from hardware to software decades ago. Today, they are bringing the same paradigm shift to the energy sector — unlocking grid flexibility, reducing costs, and enabling a more reliable and sustainable energy system.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, Alex Bausch is joined by Pascal de Keyser, founder of Portio, and Jonny Fry, founder of Team Blockchain, to delve into the future of real estate through the lens of blockchain, tokenization, and co-living.
With rising urban loneliness and the lack of accessible housing, Pascal introduces co-living as a community-centric, flexible alternative to traditional rentals. From entrepreneurs to seniors, co-living is gaining traction across Europe and beyond, offering a shared space model that blends private accommodation with communal amenities like lounges, co-working spaces, and gyms.
What makes this unique is the exploration of how tokenization can transform renters into co-owners, giving them a stake in both the rental income and long-term value appreciation of the property they live in. Pascal explains Portio’s rent-to-own model, which allows renters and external investors to acquire fractional ownership through low-cost tokens (starting at €40). These tokens are issued via a securitized vehicle in Luxembourg and are built on the Ethereum blockchain, allowing for high transparency, fractionalization, and potential liquidity through secondary markets.
The conversation also covers:
- The regulatory landscape, including how Pascal’s structure currently operates under Luxembourg’s securitization law and plans to evolve under MiFID II or MiCAR as the platform scales.
- How co-living differs from traditional short-term rentals or Airbnb models.
- Plans to expand beyond Andorra to locations in Spain, Portugal, and Italy — especially cities like Valencia, Barcelona, and Lisbon.
- The role of stablecoins (like USDC) in enabling liquidity and future DeFi integrations such as staking, lending, and collateralization.
- The technological partnership with Blocksquare and the development of a marketplace for property token trading.
This episode offers a fascinating look at a real-world asset use case already coming to life in Europe.

In this episode of the 2Tokens Podcast, host Jonny Fry and chair of 2Tokens Alex Bausch speak with payments expert Richard Anderson about ANGU, a gold-backed stablecoin aiming to reshape how value is stored and transferred in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Designed to replace unstable and informal USD reserves with a secure, inflation-resistant digital token, ANGU enables individuals and small businesses to make payments, store savings, and send remittances—without needing a bank account. Built to work on basic mobile phones using USSD, it brings financial inclusion to underserved regions.
The discussion expands into global trends, from the explosive growth of dollar-backed stablecoins to the rise of asset-backed alternatives as BRICS and other regions seek to de-dollarize trade. Rather than replicate existing systems, ANGU offers a local, trusted model for everyday transactions, backed by gold, a universally recognized store of value in the region.
Beyond consumers, ANGU targets SMEs, importers, and diaspora communities burdened by high remittance fees and limited infrastructure. The project aspires to reduce costs, revive dormant capital, and build a programmable financial layer fit for local economies—all while navigating regulatory paths and preparing for real-world rollout.
This episode offers a compelling look at how tokenization and mobile-first infrastructure can unlock new opportunities across emerging markets.

In this episode Shermin Voshmgir, Founder of the Token Kitchen and Author of Token Economy, and Alex Bausch, chairman of 2Tokens, discuss the evolution and future of tokenization, particularly in the context of blockchain, Web3, and digital assets. Together they reflect on the progress since the early days of tokens, the complexity of updating content in books to match current developments, and the expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) from a minor topic to a significant focus area.
Shermin and Alex go deeper into how tokenization is often equated with digitalization and emphasize that it's more than just finance—it can involve various rights like voting, management, and information. They draw parallels between the early internet and current blockchain technology, noting that while the general public is still unfamiliar with Web3, its impact could be transformative once a major application (like Facebook was for the internet) emerges.
The conversation touches on regulatory challenges, particularly how national laws struggle to keep up with global digital services and decentralized systems. Shermin and Alex express that regulation is often outdated, complicating the adoption of new technologies. They also discuss the potential of tokenization in various sectors, particularly finance, real-world assets, and energy, noting that while tokenizing assets is the "low-hanging fruit," the real transformative potential lies in more complex use cases.
The discussion concludes with advice on how to approach token system design—starting with clear economic and social goals before addressing technical and legal aspects. This approach can help navigate the "Wild West" of the current regulatory environment more effectively.

Today's podcast features a discussion on tokenization with Terence Norman from Blue Tractor and Graham Rodford from Archax, hosted by Johnny Fry.
Archax is a UK-based regulated digital securities exchange. Graham's journey started in asset management and led him to crypto in 2013. By 2020, Archax became the UK's first regulated digital securities exchange custodian, allowing them to operate in both crypto and securities. They have been developing their platform for six years and are now at a stage where they believe the world recognizes the value of moving assets on-chain. Graham mentions their efforts to set up a European hub in the Netherlands post-Brexit, highlighting the region’s strong regulatory environment and the establishment of their European operations there.
Blue Tractor offers a unique ETF structure that protects the manager’s investment and trading strategies, distinguishing it from fully transparent ETFs. A fun fact from the episode is that the name "Blue Tractor" has an interesting origin, inspired by Terry’s experience on a small farm in Essex, England, where the initial ideas for their structure were conceived while he was on his blue tractor.
The focus of this episode is on the practical aspects of tokenization and its relevance. Graham describes tokenization as the process of recording ownership on a blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT). He explains that tokenization streamlines the tracking of ownership for various assets like shares, cars, or houses, which can traditionally be recorded on paper, spreadsheets, or databases.
Terry highlights the benefits of tokenizing actively managed mutual funds. He explains that ETFs already have a form of tokenization as each share represents a portion of the underlying portfolio. However, tokenization can bring additional benefits like intraday liquidity and lower trading costs.

In this episode, Jonny Fry (co-founder of TEAM BLOCKCHAIN) and David Parsons (founder of NiftyOne) discuss the challenges and solutions related to storing and managing digital assets, especially with the rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and stablecoins. Together they highlight how, in the past, banks managed physical assets and accounts, but with digital assets, individuals now bear the responsibility of managing their own assets, which requires reliable hardware and software.
David addresses these challenges by talking about possible solutions for digital assets. This includes devices that are radiation-hardened and can withstand extreme conditions, resembling a large coin for physical security. They offer redundancy through twin devices stored in secure locations to prevent loss. The system also incorporates two-factor authentication and spending limits to prevent theft and unauthorized transactions.
The technology behind Nifty One comes from the defense industry, ensuring high security. It uses NFC for easy transactions, making it practical for everyday use, like buying coffee or a car. The solution aims to provide a tangible, secure way to store and use digital assets, addressing the need for infrastructure as digital asset adoption grows.

In this Podcast, Olivier Rikken (2Tokens), Meindert Jansberg (Assetblocks) and Martijn Siebrand (ABN AMRO) discuss their joint use case for the European Blockchain Sandbox. The partnership between these companies, including Rabobank, aims to legally explore the use case of tokenized financial security and stablecoin integration. Together, the goal is to bridge the gap between the physical world and the digital economy by tokenizing real assets and euro’s.
The existing base case presented by Assetblocks offers an unique investment opportunity by allowing individuals to invest in renewable energy sources through tracking stocks. Investors acquire tokens representing solar, wind, or battery parks, entitling them to share in the profits generated by these assets. The ownership proof comes in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), classified as a security under MiFID II regulations, ensuring compliance and investor confidence.
In the mentioned sandbox setting, the joint use case aims to explore the use of stablecoins tied to Euro’s or bank deposits. Both non-hosted and hosted wallets provided by banks will support these stablecoin transactions, ensuring new ways of accessibility and convenience for investors, offering new levels of accessibility and convenience for investors. Additionally, the project explores the possibility of tokenizing these assets as security tokens, compliant with EBS standards, allowing discussions on regulatory matters with EU and individual European member state frameworks.
The NFTs include embedded metadata, providing crucial information about the underlying assets. Investors can verify each NFT at a detailed level, enabling them to track production and access real-time value data. To comply with regulations, investors undergo a Know Your Customer (KYC) procedure during onboarding. Once whitelisted, investors can easily purchase NFTs using Euros, with a focus on exploring payment in Euro-based stablecoins.

Do you know where the energy you consume come from?
Today’s podcast guests Killian Daly, general manager at EnergyTag, and Leon Gerard Vandenberg, director at Sunified, will answer this question for you.
On the energy grid, we need a traceability mechanism that says who put green energy on the grid and who is allowed to say ‘I am green’. However, the way that it’s done today, is by using annual accounting methodologies which are not reliable and accurate...
EnergyTag brings together over 100 organizations (incl. UN Energy, Google, Microsoft) to define a framework making it possible for consumers to claim green energy every hour or even every 5 minutes of the year. Sunified is one of the companies making this happen in reality with their energy tagging hardware for solar panels.
In this podcast, we will discuss
The importance of hourly vs annual energy tagging
How to tag and trace the energy?
The importance of transparency in the energy market

One of the more tangible steps that foster the #energy #transition, is the #fractionalization of #energy #assets. However, tangible doesn’t necessarily mean easier. There are still several hurdles to overcome and best practices to be developed. Think about technical and regulatory issues and questions such as ‘who should lead the implementation: top-down vs. bottom-up?’
In the coming months, @CatenaPower and @Blocklab will roll out MVPs to showcase that fractionalizing energy is possible and to discover which unforeseen hurdles have to be tackled. What do you think they will come across?
Raw summary/text
One of the more tangible steps in tokenizing the energy sector, is fractionalizing energy assets and applying tokenization (fractional ownership). The first steps that are necessary towards system integration, is showing that fractional ownership is able within the legal framework. From a technical point of view, it is easily doable. However, from a regulatory point of view, it is more complicated. You first need to overcome those issues, before you can start developing the underlying technology.
Discussion between top-down vs. bottom-up. Also, there are several other hurdles that need to be tackled before fractional ownership of solar panels can be achieved. However, do the definition that are created by business, fit the legislations. That’s rather difficult, cause you don’t know what you are exactly looking at (ownership, consumption). You simply choose a way to fit in the current regulation, it’s not the best solution, but let’s squeeze it in.
The next few months, we will have to create a general understanding of energy token, source and offtake token to speed up the discussion and development. Expect some interesting new projects/MVPs in the coming months to see how fractional ownership works. Certainly, there will be many unforeseen problems to overcome. What do you think these MVPs will have to face?
Blocklab is creating such a platform: We face a huge challenge in de energy transition. The more difficult part is that we need everyone to be involved to make a change. It’s not just investor or the government, or the network operators, but it’s all of us.
Meindert Jansberg: Working for Catena Power, focus on democratizing energy assets. Think it’s a way to give people the tools to orchestrate and balance their use of energy. Before we can let people managed their own energy, there are a lot of steps to be taken. This helps to create energy independence.

Part 2 of the #podcast “the #digital #notary” is live - in Dutch!
In deze podcast praten Bas Jansen (business developer bij Bondex) en Quintus Willemse (Eigenaar van Share Council) over het concept ‘de digitale notaris’
In Nederland is eigenaarschap mega ingewikkeld gemaakt. Met de Digital Notary Use Case hebben we iets te pakken waarmee je binnen 24 uur jouw bedrijf op een betaalbare manier kunt opzetten. Daarbij is investeren in het bedrijf eenvoudig en kan iedere medewerker mede eigenaar worden en er ook weer makkelijk uitstappen.
De stichting 2tokens is ontstaan om Tokenization helder uit te leggen en om te laten zien dat het hier is en niet meer weg gaat. Maar waar zit die token nu in The Digital Notary?…
A new #podcast about the #digital #notary is live - in Dutch!
Vandaag gaan we het hebben over de digitale notaris en
het ultra snel oprichten van jouw BV op een betaalbare manier
de actuele inzichten in de cap table
aandelen in een decentrale omgeving
& meer
De Digital Notary 2Tokens Working Group heeft het proces van het oprichten van een BV en iedere heruitgifte en overdracht van aandelen #volledig #geautomatiseerd. Bij de oprichting is de notaris nog steeds betrokken, maar dan digitaal. Denk daarbij aan de aanmelding van de BV, de identificatie van de persoon die de BV opricht, tot en met de oprichting zelf en de levering van de aandelen. Dit alles kan geautomatiseerd plaatsvinden in een #gedecentraliseerde #omgeving.
Podcast Guests:
Marinus de Waal, Notaris, Managing partner bij FieldFischer
Marleen Evertsz, CEO Nxchange
Quintus Willemse, Founder Share Council

De digitale notaris is voor de mensen die een bedrijf willen runnen of al hebben. Die het belangrijk vinden dat er investeringsgelden binnen kunnen komen, en dat meerdere spelers daar snel en makkelijk mee de aandeelhouder van kunnen worden, en eruit kunnen stappen. Je krijgt dan een digitaal aandeelhoudersregister die real time geüpdatete wordt met iedere transactie die er plaatsvindt. Dit betekent dat je op ieder moment van de dag een actueel overzicht hebt van wie, wat, waar eigenaar van is.
What does it mean if we go from a centralized system to a peer-to-peer system of exchanging energy?
In today’s #podcast, we are going to discuss #orchestrating the #energy #transition with Kai Siefert, managing director of R&C Energy, & Arash Azami, founder of Unify Energy.
What about…
…giving every human being the chance to be energy-independent?
…interconnecting local energy assets that generate, store and convert energy?
…decongesting the grid on the regional and national level
…making renewable energy the power to create value?

If you think about tokens, you probably think about NFTs and ownership. However, tokenization is so much more than this. In today's podcast, our guests Vivek Srivastava (Digital Asset) & Martijn Siebrand (ABN AMRO) will explain why.
A token may represent your share in a company or solar park, but it can also serve to access the train, vote in an election or used to send information online.
A token doesn't always have to be used in a decentralized model. Institutional users may choose to implement permissioned blockchain among stakeholders.
Digital Assets has built the Daml standard. For the adoption of tokenisation by Enterprises such as the Deutsche Boerse, standards are important.
Tokenization efficiency gains, thus speeding up a process which would take 3-4 days, and now it's done in 9 minutes.
Some countries have their own blockchain laws, such as Germany, Malta, & Estonia. With the #MiCA regulation, this will probably disappear in the long term. The ultimate goal is that there would be a global legal framework for crypto. Is this Utopia for the next decade?
In today’s podcast, Willem-Jan Smits (Watson Law), Karsten Bruinsma (CMS), & Ryan King (Dusk) talk about the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) and other crypto and blockchain-related legislation. Several questions will be addressed like,
What crypto regulation is already in place?
Will MiCA create a bright future for crypto in Europe?
What will MiCA solve?

Value transactions of clean energy
Decentralized energy markets
The tokenization of energy
Clean energy is facing severe hurdles to getting into the markets and revealing its full potential. Blockchain could be a solution for this by enabling people to tokenize an energy asset. This way, they will receive the production and the value that is created by the asset. However, if we want to start value transactions, we have to make sure that the data sets are coming from reliable sources…

Financing sustainability and solving challenging macroeconomic problems usually involves financing new technology and new ventures. Financing new technology and new ventures often do not fit within the mandate of institutional and professional investors due to a mismatch in risk profile (unproven technology), deal size (too small) in contrast to the relatively high administrative burden, too few high-quality investment opportunities (diversification) and the fact that the pool of investors is somewhat disorganized. As a result, after validation of the business models, startups often find themselves in a critical valley of death where little or no funding is available.
To promote and accelerate sustainable financing, The 2Tokens Usecase Next Generation Capital has developed the Vertical® structure as a proof-of-concept for a new, efficient financing structure for early-stage ventures in which the use of tokens makes it possible to set up financing on a larger scale and cost more efficiently and making an investment accessible to a greater diversity of investors.
Vertical®
A Vertical® is a new way of investing in a theme-based basket of ventures, offered as one bundled investment proposition and subsequently listed as separate security tokens on a regulated secondary market, using standardised documentation, standardised issuing practices, and complying with a standardised framework of investor requirements.
Phase 2 Next Generation Capital
During Phase 1 of Next Generation Capital the Vertical® model was developed and approved by the regulators. In Phase 2 of Next Generation capital we will actually bring the first Vertical® to the market. For this a more detailed whitepaper will be developed for the governance and legal documentation of the funded startups, the token economics will be structured and the Investor readiness of the Vertical® will be tested.
Event: Open tablesIf you want to actively participate in this use case, we welcome your attendance. In three sessions we will dive into the details and work through all technicalities using the wisdom of the 2Tokens community.

Token Economy | Changing reward systems, reinventing markets, and building new landscapes of regulations
A Euro Stable Coin for decentralized exchanges.
Setting up a digital Euro or Euro token from scratch, provides an opportunity to integrate settlements in programmable accounts on a fundamental level. This could lead to a wave of innovation. The ease of integrating programmable features using a Euro token, depends on the design choices yet to be made. A fundamental question arises: do conditioned transactions (based on smart contracts programmability) fit in the design of a public Euro token, a legal tender, which is supposed to be accepted at all times, at all places? In the Euro Stable Coin working group they will explore several conditions for a Euro token in order for it to lead to actual innovation.

Tokens are certainly changing society. Tokenisation has the potential to open up the financial system to anyone around the world, as long as the infrastructure to exchange those tokenized assets is there. For the adoption of tokenization, it is important that the community and regulators work together to develop clear standards and regulatory frameworks. A robust regulatory framework will undoubtedly reduce regulatory risks, enable innovation by providing clarity around the rules of tokenized ecosystems and allow incumbents to open up for new companies. Standardized taxonomy and terminology and the education of stakeholders are vital in achieving this.
In this podcast we address questions like: "To what is the invoice token a good solution?", and "In what stage of adoption of tokenizing invoices are we?"
What is Invoice Market?
The invoice market is a place where invoices trade as a financial instrument: factoring companies finance invoices, fintech companies, and banks. For now, we will call those: Originators. At Invoice Market, Originators can sell invoices to Institutional investors. The Institutional Investors profit from the invoices, and the Originators free capital by distributing their balance sheet risk.
This process goes as follows:
A seller (Company A) sells a product or service to a debtor (Company B). The seller creates an invoice.
After verification, the factoring company acquires the invoice in return for financing (usually around 80 to 95% of the total invoice).
The financier holds the risk of the invoice on their balance sheet and is required to hold capital for that risk. As these costs are high, financiers tend to look to distribute the risk to investors.
Investors buy the invoice and take over the risk of the financier.
When the payment term is due and the invoice paid by the debtor (Company B), the financier receives the total value of the invoice.
The platform then distributes the remainder of the invoice to the investors.
In the Invoice Market use case, the invoice plays a significant role. And there are several issues with invoices and the way they function in an invoice market:
- There is no standard invoice format
- Verification of invoices is cumbersome, leading to unverified invoices being seen as secure titles
- Double spending issues
- Manual payments are prone to error
The Invoice Token Use Case aims to make invoice markets more efficient by creating a non-fungible token (NFT) that will represent the invoice, the underlying receivable cash flow, and have all the functions of an invoice programmed in it built on a DLT specific ledger with an agnostic smart contract.

Podcast Series - Qoin | How can blockchain help the currency world | Green Currencies
How can blockchain help the currency world? Currencies and incentive models can help social and environmental impact to happen. As for governance, all historical solutions we see or worked on were centralized. Blockchain allows us to add a new layer that allows for community-distributed decision-making. As for trust, blockchain allows for a common truth that can be accepted by everyone. No party can change this, like in a centralized system.
Why should we use green currencies?

The Energy Token business case
At the moment, the energy sector is heavily regulated and enjoys a certain lack of transparency. Furthermore, the new EU regulation states that prosumers (a consumer who also produces energy) as a new way of producing and consuming energy are very important. With new technologies, such as distributed ledger technologies, the opportunities are endless.
In the current metering & allocation setup, every commercial grid connection has a meter and associated allocation point. Balance responsible parties (BRPs) are responsible for maintaining supply and demand on the energy market within their portfolio. Together, all BRPs represent all connections within a scheduling area (for example, the Netherlands).
As the BRPs work on expected production, consumption, and external trade, differences between supply and demand may occur using reconciliation to correct the disparity. New technology, such as smart meters and DLTs, allow for real-time energy allocation based on actual energy consumption.
This use case aims to develop the infrastructure that supports an energy token and embed this in the currently available infrastructure.
Creating one digital journey for entrepreneurs with minimum interference of a notary, that is the goal of this use-case. A pivotal piece of this exercise is to be able to create the first fully digitized shareholders register that allows trading shares without any notary interference at all (in a fully legal and compliant way).
As the European Parliament just passed new legislation stating that from August 1st, 2021 every European country has to offer full digital incorporation of limited companies, the Netherlands feels the pressure. In the Netherlands, we currently have rigid notary structure used to incorporate limited liability businesses (Dutch: BVs) and to trade its shares. With this new legislation, the European Parliament has set a timetable on the digital incorporation of companies, digital shareholder registers and digital transfer of shares.
The Digital Notary use-case has been established to find a way to change the standard on corporate structuring and the trading of private shares. In the future, those wishing to establish a new company will now be able to do so in a fully digital and affordable way. Various partners have come together acknowledging the same problems that exist today: the process of incorporation and transfer of shares of private limited companies is too cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming (in the Netherlands). To be clear, this does not mean that this use-case aims to remove a notary, but rather envisions a different role.
The persistent progress of technology brings many opportunities to improve traditional industries as current approaches need to be rethought. This can also be applied to the energy sector. New innovations, such as blockchain and the internet of things, make energy systems smarter and enable consumers to better benefit from energy services. This increasing digitization has the potential to transform how people engage with these utilities, by bringing control and transparency back to the end-user.
Together with several parties, the working group of this use-case aims to create an Energy Token. Curious? Listen now!
On the 12th of April, we hosted the first podcast in our ‘Introduction to our use-cases’ series. Together with Arnout Buschenhenke (ABN AMRO) and Digital Asset, this podcast explains all about our use-case Invoice Market.
You will learn more about what an invoice market is and how we aim work on tokenizing this market.
In our latest webinar about The Value of Tokenization for Financial Services, Marjan van der Plas, Compliance Manager Innovation & Technology at ABN AMRO, explained all about the banking view on tokenization. Furthermore, the positioning paper published by the NVB (Dutch Banking Association) will be discussed.
In our latest webinar about The Value of Tokenization for Financial Services we hosted a panel discussion with Kim Schneider (Rabobank & NVB), Marjan van der Plas (ABN AMRO & NVB), and Leonard Franken (AFM). Listen to what they have to say about tokenization in financial services!

In our latest webinar about The Value of Tokenization for Financial Services, Clair Wermers, lawyer at CMS, discussed the legal aspects of tokenization.
Although this might not be the most exciting topic to think about, it is important to know what you are dealing with, because it can have a major impact on the feasibility, cost, and timing of a token initiative.
Holland FinTech and 2Tokens, in partnership with the Dutch Association of Banks (NVB), invite you to join for an online interactive event on January 20 from 16:30 – 18:00 PM CET.
In this event, we bring together a wide range of experts to discuss state of market and explore use cases and legal challenges for banks to work with tokenization. This is an event that focuses on banking strategies and applications, but will be accessible and appealing for a broader audience.
Tokens are familiar to the financial industry, but since the rise of cryptocurrencies and related technological possibilities, we see an increased interest in the field. Tokens can be used to represent all kinds of contracts and value, and have the potential for more transparency, trust, liquidity and speed of financial services. Today several industry initiatives join forces, to discuss the potential and way forward of tokenization in financial services.

Learn more about the state of tokenization in Europe's Financial Markets with this deep dive hosted during the 2Tokens Summit.
In this deep-dive, we will take a closer look at the state of tokenization in Europe's financial markets. Besides discussing the newly proposed MiCAr (Market in Crypto-Assets regulation) by the European Commission, use-cases such as Next Generation Capital (NGC) and Central Banking Digital Currency (CBDC) will be highlighted.
On the 8th of October, during the 2Tokens Summit, the Token Roadmap was presented by Olivier Rikken (Head of Research of 2Tokens).
The Token Roadmap is one of the deliverables of the 2Tokens Foundations. It provides insights in the regulatory processes of tokenization in the Netherlands. The Token Roadmap is a guideline, which will continuously be updated.
Before you are able to go through the Token Roadmap, you will have to classify your token first. This deep-dive will explain all the ins and outs of how to classify your token and how to use the Token Roadmap.
In this final episode, taken from the 2Tokens Summit, Alex Bausch will explain more about the future of 2Tokens.
He will talk about the 2Tokens Foundation, the goals and mission, and will elaborate on what we plan to do in the coming year.
In this podcast, taken from the Summit hosted on the 8th of October, we will elaborate on our use-cases eBL (electronic Bill of Lading) and NGC (Next Generation Capital).
Team captain of eBL, Aljosja Beije, will explain everything about how the tokenization of a Bill of Lading is beneficial for the supply chain industry and what the next steps are for this use-cases, which includes a collaboration with the InterWork Alliance (IWA) in the US
Marleen Evertsz, team captain of NGC, will discuss how the NGC use-case will revolutionize the investment sector through Venture Verticals®. The first Venture Verticals® is to be launched in collaboration with HighTechXL. Listen to this podcast to learn more!
During the 2Tokens Summit on the 8th of October, we hosted two banks (Rabobank and ABN AMRO) as guests. They elaborated in our panel on the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and how tokenization can improve the current situation.
Hosted by Marleen Evertsz (Nx'change), Djuri Baars (Rabobank) explains more about the bank account provided to 2Tokens and the initiaves that Rabobank is rolling out in the tokenization space.
After, Martijn Siebrand (ABN AMRO), will explain about the Banking as a service project they are co-developing as well as other initiatives they are working on.
2Tokens highlights the path to Tokenization in the Netherlands. The mission of 2Tokens is to provide an interactive roadmap with the aim of creating clarity about token financing. In todays session Olivier Rikken and Mark van Rijmenam share the findings and recommendations with regards to token finance in the Netherlands. What are the lessons learned during the Use cases? What is good practice?. All of this has been wrapped in the online tokenroadmap.nl which will be updated by the research team as new developments emerge.
2Tokens hosted the first annual online summit October 8th. The interactive 2Tokens roadmap was presented where companies and institutions can go if they have questions about tokenisation and crypto. In this episode, our host Patrick De Laive of The NEXT WEB interviews Chairman Alex Bausch and Jelle Pol who together with Stefan Schmitt of the International Token Standardization Association (ITSA) discuss the relevance of standards. In particular on the use of tokens in Europe and how this relates to the proposed MiCA regulation. In the past 1.5 years, the 2Tokens foundation has worked hard to realize various tokenization projects in the Netherlands. This was done in collaboration with various parties, including banks, ministries, companies and institutions. By means of round table sessions, working groups and webinars, 2Tokens has put the technology around tokenization into practice and shared it with the world. The success of the use cases and the round table sessions provides insight into the potential and possibilities for this technology in the Netherlands and Europe.
Breaking the status quo of a legal framework to benefit all stakeholders
In this 2Tokens masterclass held August 20th, Alex Bausch (2Tokens), Quintus Willemse (The Share Council), Jack Berk (Berk Lawyers), Dan Liebau (Founder Lightbulb Capital & FinTech lecturer at RSM) and Marleen Evertsz (Nx'change) discussed the ingenious unconventional "Legal Framework" of the Verticals®. Together with Phd masters in the field we engineered a framework to give the startups a stable structure, assure investor protection and program manager influence at the same time. See what benefit you can have from this new way of venture building and capitalise on the combined knowledge. The second part of the masterclass, Dr. Dion Bongaerts of the Erasmus University RSM discusses the success factors of Security Token Offerings with Dan Liebau (Singapore)..
How to be innovative in the capital markets and benefit from our Regulatory framework. Insight in applying economics in a way that has never been done before.
The regulation & token economics webinar is about how to be innovative in the capital markets and the benefits from our European regulatory framework. Important topics are: security tokens, securities regulation, trading security tokens, smart contracts and the added value of blockchain technology. You will gain the insides in applying economics in the way that has never been done before.
Next Generation Capital is the result of a flourishing partnership between various innovative and progressive parties that jointly offer the solution for the social challenges that our generation is trying to tackle, in a smart, sustainable and tokenized way. Experts in sustainability, emerging technology, and capital markets discus the future of venture funding models. Guests John Bell (CEO HighTechXL) and Jan Geert van Hall (Investment director YES!Delft) will give insight into the challenges and opportunities of future hightech development. At the same time, the vertical funding model how it can disrupt our existing hightech investment model by allowing investors to invest in multiple startups simultaneously is introduced by Marleen Evertsz (CEO Nxchange) and Alex Bausch (Next Generation Capital).
The potential for tokenization to disrupt existing interactions is huge – offering both more efficient solutions to existing paradigms (e.g. crowdfunding, fractionalized ownership) as well as opening up whole new models for financing and collaboration beyond the currently dominant approaches. The use-case Next Generation Capital is about creating a new way of funding (vertical funds), focusing on hightech ventures that are building solutions for a sustainable future. Marleen Evertz is founder and CEO NxChange and leads the 2Tokens use case NGC.
Aljosja Beije is co-founder of BlockLab of the Port of Rotterdam, and in the lead for the 2Tokens use case EBL. We see the digitization of the Bill of Lading as an important step towards making ports around the world, safer, faster, more efficient and sustainable. We are therefore actively reaching out to carriers, shippers, banks and logistics service providers in the Netherlands and beyond, to work with them on setting an open standard for transfer of title. The e-BL project envisions the creation of a secure environment in which the first legally binding, interoperable, paperless transfer of ownership of an EBL can be conducted on live shipments. TradeTrust allows for the creation of assets wrapped in a token, which can therefore be owned by an entity. On the 8th of September (4pm - 6pm CEST/UTC+2), 2Tokens, together with Blocklab and the InterWork Alliance, will host a webinar on the use-case Electronic Bill-of-Lading (EBL).
Tokens enable users to define, exchange and use anything of value – whether that value is digitally-native, such as cryptocurrencies, or other forms of value, such as artwork, properties, loyalty points, etc. For an enterprise to exchange or use tokenized value, business partners first need to universally agree on how that token is defined and how its value will contractually unlock through the various agreements and clauses.
“When our customers want to come together to solve problems in their sectors, they often want a neutral forum where they can work out collaborative frameworks and approaches that let them focus on business outcomes rather than technology implementation details. The IWA will play a critical role in helping business leaders across industries collaborate effectively,” said Marley Gray, principal architect, Microsoft, and the InterWork Alliance Chairman. “It provides a forum where industry participants can take real-world use cases as diverse as improving carbon market efficiency or trade finance efficiency, and use technology-agnostic token and contract definitions to foster interoperability and drive widespread adoption – that’s the big picture of what we need to do in the Alliance.”
The InterWork Alliance will provide the frameworks needed for businesses to create standardized token definitions and contracts in non-technical, business terms, and then turn them over to developers for coding on any platform of choice
InterWork Alliance Launches to Standardize Token-Powered Ecosystems Worldwide. Companies want to be able to create token-based business models without having a platform technology in mind. For this approach to work, standards are urgently needed around defining what a token is and how its contractual behaviors will work,” said InterWork Alliance President Ron Resnick. “The Alliance was created to serve as the organization where this essential work happens. By bringing great technology and innovative business leaders together to deliver the market-driven specifications needed to facilitate interworking, the Alliance can deliver a proven, standard approach that is required to bring consumer trust into this space
What better way to show how to disrupt existing tokenization frameworks, and how this can be done, than to create your own token? In this webinar we explain how to launch a token: a discounted store credit for all 2Tokens products in the webshop. Creating this token will provide better insights in the challenges that come with the creation of a token.
Olivier Rikken leads the research team at 2Tokens and explains the mission of roadmap. Tokenisation in itself was a bit of a hype word. We're gonna tokenise everything and it is completely new, and we do have to realise, and that is also something I mentioned to Alex when we started out right at the beginning of the project. We do want to emphasise on the fact that tokenisation in itself is not new.
