What Swiss DLT Act - Code of Obligations Art. 973d-973g (ledger-based securities) requires

The Swiss DLT Act introduced ledger-based securities into the Code of Obligations (CO). Article 973d defines a ledger-based security as a right that, under a registration agreement, is registered in a securities ledger and may be exercised and transferred only via that ledger, and sets four requirements the ledger must meet, including giving creditors but not the obligor power of disposal and securing the ledger's integrity. Article 973e provides that the obligor must perform only to the creditor indicated in the ledger and protects good-faith acquirers, Article 973f makes transfer subject to the registration agreement, and Article 973g allows collateralisation without transfer where the collateral is visible in the ledger and only the collateral recipient can dispose of it on default.
