Security Token

German: Wertpapiertoken

A token that qualifies as a transferable security or other financial instrument, which places it under securities law and outside MiCA.

Why people look this up

Legal and compliance readers testing whether their instrument falls under securities law; the answer determines prospectus, licensing and venue obligations.

Auf Deutsch

Wertpapiertoken Ein Token, der als übertragbares Wertpapier oder sonstiges Finanzinstrument einzuordnen ist und damit dem Wertpapierrecht und nicht der MiCA unterliegt.

Looking for how this maps to its traditional-finance counterpart rather than a standalone definition? See the Term Bridge, which also flags where the obvious analogy is wrong.
