- VT Key Depositary and VT Token Depositary were consolidated into the new unified TT Depositary (VT-Verwahrer) role effective 01.02.2024 under the same legislative reform.

### Physical Validator — world's first
LCX is the first company worldwide registered as a Physical Validator under the TVTG. This role authorises LCX to verify the existence, authenticity, and condition of physical assets (such as gold, diamonds, and real estate) before they are tokenized on a blockchain. Registration date: 16.12.2022.

### MiCA application
LCX has applied for authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) under MiCA (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114). The application is in progress with the Liechtenstein FMA. Once granted, MiCA will serve as LCX's primary EU-wide regulatory framework, passportable across the European Economic Area. Until then, LCX operates under its existing TVTG registration and applicable transitional provisions.

### 5. RWA Tokenization (end-to-end)

LCX provides end-to-end tokenization of real-world assets under a single FMA-registered framework — the only platform where every step is performed by a single regulated entity under Liechtenstein law.

**The tokenization pipeline:**
1. **Physical Validation** — LCX inspects the asset under its FMA-registered Physical Validator role, verifying authenticity, condition, and existence.
2. **Regulated Custody** — The physical asset is placed in a high-security third-party vault in Liechtenstein, under the four-eyes principle.
3. **Token Issuance** — LCX issues a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) representing 1:1 legal ownership of the underlying physical asset under Liechtenstein law, with an on-chain ownership certificate linking token to asset.
4. **Bridging** — NFTs can be bridged into fungible ERC-20 tokens for broader market access, enabling fractional exposure.
5. **Exchange Listing** — Tokens can be listed on the LCX Exchange for regulated secondary-market trading.
6. **Redemption** — Token holders can redeem tokens 1:1 for the underlying physical asset at any time.

**Key property:** This verifiable chain of ownership creates a transparent, auditable proof-of-reserve. Any holder or independent auditor can confirm that every circulating token is backed 1:1 by a real, custodied asset recorded on-chain.

- Tokenization overview: https://lcx.com/en/tokenization

### 6. Tiamonds (tokenized RWA marketplace)

Tiamonds is LCX's branded marketplace for tokenized real-world assets. Each asset is physically validated, custody-secured, and tokenized under LCX's TVTG framework.

**Available asset classes:**
- GIA-certified diamonds (primary focus)
- Gold and silver bullion
- Fine art
- Luxury watches
- Carbon credits

**Key facts:**
- Diamond vault insured by Lloyd's of London.
- Tokens are redeemable 1:1 for the underlying physical asset.
- Tradable across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and Cardano.

**Example:** A series of gold-backed XAUQ tokens are publicly verifiable — any holder can trace each token back to its NFT certificate and the corresponding physical gold bar held in a regulated Liechtenstein vault.
