However, the taxonomy discussions still remain in an infancy stage. Cryptocurrencies can be issued (i) by a State or privately and (ii) be of a wholesale or retail nature. The characteristic features of cryptoassets are the intangibility, the cryptographic authentication, the use of a distributed transaction ledger, the decentralization and the rule by consensus. The development of a taxonomy of cryptoassets must be driven by the acknowledgement that \u201cfactual control\u201d has become more important than the traditional property understanding. In this light, the design of a legally stable environment for cryptoassets should enshrine the registration conditions of the ledger, the effects of the registration, the transfer requirements, the transfer restrictions, the liability rules, and the nullification of a \u201clost\u201d cryptoasset. A potential roadmap should encompass the involvement of the appropriate organizations for the preparation of an adequate cryptoassets\u2019 taxonomy and the development of substantive standards in this field. The contribution attempts at improving the legal and regulatory framework for a sound crypto universe<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Dr. Rolf H.
