Structured Finance Group Event - Finance Under Article 12: The Digital Awakening

Seyfarth's Structured Finance Group gave a presentation on financing digital assets. For decades the law has lagged behind the technology as new digital financial assets emerge, and traditional financial assets increasingly take digital form. Now the law is finally catching up.

Topics that were covered included:

• The long-awaited Article 12 of the UCC and what it means
• Rights in emerging assets—stablecoin, NFTs, crypto, smart contracts
• How any asset can be tokenized and monetized on the blockchain under Article 12
• Financing traditional assets in electronic form—eVaults, notes, chattel paper, mortgages
• Challenges and opportunities as market participants interpret Article 12 and adapt to the new rules
