# ERIR: Key to issuing tokenized assets in Spain

> The ERIR, or entity responsible for recording and registration, is the figure created by Spanish Law 6/2023 for securities represented through distributed ledger technology. It maintains the register with legal effect and determines who holds the security at any given time, which is what makes a tokenized issue legally sound in Spain.

## What is an ERIR and why is it essential for the future of tokenized finance?

La **Entity Responsible for Enrollment and Registration (ERIR)** is the key actor that guarantees legal certainty in the issuance of tokenized financial assets.

Thanks to the **blockchain technology**, the ERIR ensures that all records associated with these assets are **intact, traceable and immutable**.

This new role is essential for the digital financial ecosystem in Spain, since **certifies transactions, validates ownership and protects investor rights**, opening the door to secure and regulated tokenization.

‍

## Legal framework: Why did the figure of ERIR arise?

The figure of the ERIR was born with the **Securities Market and Investment Services Act (March 2023)**, a regulation that recognizes the potential of blockchain to represent financial instruments, but under **strict parameters of legality and investor protection**.

This law aligns with the **European Regulation 2022/858 (Pilot Regime)**, which regulates DLT (blockchain) market infrastructures across the European Union. In this context, the ERIR becomes a **indispensable legal pillar for the issuance of tokenized assets**.

‍

## Key functions of an ERIR

An ERIR aims to ensure that each issue is carried out with total transparency and legality.

‍

Its functions include:

- Validate the **issuance of tokens** and ensure that the records match the associated economic rights.
- Verify the **identity of issuers and investors**, and ensure their correct connection with the assets.
- Provide transparent access to **history of operations** and to property information.
- Register and manage legal acts on tokens: **garnishments, inheritances, pledges**, etc.
- Issue **official certificates** about blockchain records.
- Managing corporate events such as **dividend or interest distribution**.
- Recover assets in case of **loss of private keys**.

‍

## Which entities can act as ERIRs?

Only those entities with express authorization can act as ERIR:

- Securities agencies and corporations.
- Credit institutions authorized for custody.
- Central securities depositories.
- Regulated blockchain infrastructure providers under the Pilot Regime.

‍

## Legal advantages of issuing with an ERIR

Issuing tokenized assets under the supervision of an ERIR offers **total legal certainty**:

- Reinforced protection for investors.
- Verified identification of all the actors involved.
- Legal record of all acts and events associated with the asset.
