CMS advised Float on the Issuance of a Tokenized Debt Instrument
Zurich,  Novem­ber 2023A team of CMS Switzerland and CMS Luxembourg, lead by partner Matthias Kuert, advised Float Finance AB, Stockholm, Sweden, on legal and tax aspects of a tokenized debt instrument issued under Swiss law by a Luxembourg Special Purpose Vehicle. The instrument labelled FLOAT1 is one of Europe's first private debt asset tokens, and a great example of a tokenized financial instrument issued under the landmark Swiss DLT legal framework. The FLOAT1 token offers investors access to a diversified portfolio of private SME loans to European SaaS and technology businesses. Float worked together with banking partner Sygnum Bank AG, Zurich, Switzerland, and senior lender, Fasanara Capital Ltd, London, England (one of Europe's largest FinTech credit funds), to tokenize and issue the debt instrument within a fully regulated environment. By way of the FLOAT1 token, Float brings illiquid real-world financial assets onto the Polygon Labs blockchain to make them accessible to investors and tradeable. Float, Sygnum Bank, Fasanara Capital and CMS closely collaborated to make the issuance of the FLOAT1 token happen. The CMS team consisted of the following professionals: CMS SwitzerlandDr Matthias Kuert, Lead Partner, Capital Markets / Fintech & BlockchainTina Balzli, Partner, Fintech & BlockchainDr Ferdinand Blezinger, Senior Associate, Corporate / M&AAlina Fancelli, Associate, Capital MarketsMark Cagienard, Partner, TaxDr David Schuler, Senior Associate, TaxCMS Lux­em­bour­gAuréli­en Hollard, Partner, Investment FundsGeorgios Kortesis, Managing Associate, Capital Markets & BlockchainJosé Juan Ocaña, Senior Associate, Capital Markets & Block­chain­Stamat­ina Stylianopoulou, Associate, Capital Markets & Block­chain­Frédéric Feyten, Managing Partner and Partner, TaxAlejandro Domínguez Becerra, Senior Counsel, TaxSarah Lemaire, Managing Associate, TaxVicente Chapa, Associate, Tax
