Blockchain is far more than Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. But what specific opportunities does the technology offer companies? And what legal and regulatory requirements must be considered? A new episode of the KSB INTAX podcast "Wissen Kompakt" addresses these questions.
In this article, we, together with KSB INTAX, examine blockchain technology from different perspectives and connect technological possibilities with the legal and regulatory issues that are crucial for its practical use in companies.
Moderator Sebastian Bluhm discusses this with Dr. Björn Bogner LL.M., Dr. Arndt Alexander Schmidt from KSB INTAX and our Managing Director Fabian Eckhart.
From smart contracts to compliance
The episode focuses on the question of what concrete added value blockchain technologies can create for companies and organizations today. First, the technical fundamentals are clearly explained, followed by a discussion of various application areas and current developments.
Among other things, the following questions will be addressed:
- What is a blockchain and how does it work?
- Why is this technology currently gaining in importance?
- What are the possible applications for companies and organizations?
- What lies behind tokens, NFTs, smart contracts and stablecoins?
- What requirements do compliance, data protection and regulation impose?
- What potential does blockchain offer outside the financial sector?
Thinking about technology and regulation together
For companies in particular, it is not enough to consider only the technological possibilities of blockchain. New digital business models and applications must also be evaluated from the outset with regard to their legal, regulatory and organizational requirements.
The exchange with KSB INTAX therefore shows how important the connection between different disciplines is: technological expertise on the one hand and legal and regulatory competence on the other.
This podcast episode thus offers a compact introduction for decision-makers who want to understand blockchain not just as a buzzword, but to have a sound understanding of its potential applications and practical requirements.
