The LMVSI is the Spanish law governing securities markets and recognizing securities represented through DLT.
WHAT IS IT? · FOR DUMMIES
The LMVSI is the Spanish version of the securities markets rulebook: it is the law that, in Spain, sets out how shares, bonds and the like are issued, traded and supervised. What matters for the crypto world is that it expressly recognizes that a security can be represented using blockchain technology, not just on paper or as a traditional book entry.
