Tokenisation of rights in Europe: exploring transfers by token of absolute and personal rights in light of the token container model

Abstract

Tokens are used as vehicles that might contain rights. This is reflected in recent legal initiatives that have created, what has come to be known as, the token container model. This model recognises the transfer of a token as being effective in transferring the right contained within that token. This contribution analyses whether such a model might allign with the broader European rules on transfers of rights. 1 I.
