Cette édition spéciale réunit les commentaires de ces textes publiés dans le cadre du Commentaire romand du Code des obligations. Les dispositions sur le droit de révocation en matière de démarchage et d'excursion-vente et sur le contrat de voyage à forfait sont commentées pour la première fois en français. Le commentaire de la nouvelle loi sur le crédit à la consommation, qui vise avant tout à prévenir le surendettement du consommateur preneur d'un crédit à la consommation (vente par acomptes, petit crédit, leasing de biens de consommation, crédit en compte-courant, cartes de crédit et de client avec option de crédit), est même le premier à analyser de façon systématique les dispositions de la nouvelle LCC entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2003.

CMTA publishes its debt tokenization standard

CMTA publishes its debt tokenization standard

The Capital Markets and Technology Association (CMTA), a Geneva-based non-profit organization that develops standards for the use of distributed ledger technology in capital markets, has published a standard for the tokenization of debt instruments using distributed ledger technology. The document offers practical guidance on how debt instruments can be issued as ledger-based securities pursuant to Article 973d et seq. of the Swiss Code of Obligations. In particular, it provides direction on how debt securities issued by both Swiss and non-Swiss entities can be tokenized under Swiss law. The release of the standard comes at a time when tokenized securities are gaining traction in Switzerland, with FINMA having granted its first license for a DLT-based trading facility in March.

The new Swiss measures entered into force on 15 May 2025 and reinforce the existing framework through enhanced trade restrictions, territorial extensions and service bans. These include, inter alia, the expansion of Article 28e UKRO to non-government-controlled areas of Ukraine and reinforced prohibitions on Russian infrastructure and financial messaging services.
