The digital transformation process

Cryptoassets

Cryptoassets are defined as “a category of virtual assets of a private nature that rely mainly on the combined use of cryptographic techniques and the distributed ledger technology (“DLT”). It is a broad concept under which two main families can be distinguished: Those initiatives that have been conceived to be used in payment transactions and the so-called digital “tokens” (vouchers). The former are generally known as ‘cryptocurrencies’ (although in reality they do not meet the characteristics associated with money), while the latter are a digital representation of value that is usually issued in order to secure financing and to confer on its holder the right to receive an economic or in-kind remuneration, or to exercise certain rights”.
