Security tokens refer to the digitalization of securities under the Capital Markets Act using distributed ledger technology, according to the guidance, and will apply only to digital assets that qualify.

Digital assets that have no issuer and do not have to “fulfill the obligations commensurate with the investor’s rights,” will also likely fall outside of the scope of security tokens.
