In 2020, the first RealUnit tokens were created. This token, like most crypto assets, is based on the proven Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 standard token. The RealUnit token is a share token, which grants the same rights as the traditional share. Our shareholders can thus already acquire and hold their shares in the form of tokens.
This comes with some advantages:
The tokens can be stored outside the banking system in a personal wallet, and the owners have access to their RealUnit holdings at any time without relying on the company or their bank.
“Be your own bank” also comes with responsibilities. The access keys, known as private keys, must be kept safe by token holders. If you do not want to store them yourself, there are service providers who offer this professionally.

*equal in terms of shareholder rights in Switzerland.
The term “token” refers to a unit on the blockchain. Our share tokens represent RealUnit shares registered on the Ethereum Blockchain. As a holder of RealUnit share tokens, you have the same rights as a holder of traditional shares.
For more information on share token security, please read the RealUnit Registration Agreement, available at: https://realunit.ch/downloads/#registrierungsvereinbarung
No, because the issuer of the tokens, RealUnit Schweiz AG, is a central issuer. The term “cryptocurrency” refers to digital assets that are held in a decentralized database, usually a blockchain, and have no central issuer.
No, not in principle. The price of the share token is based on the intrinsic value (the Net Asset Value or NAV) of RealUnit Schweiz AG. We currently hold a position of <1% in ETH, which has a minimal impact on the NAV.
According to experts, the Ethereum blockchain is a very secure decentralized network. When you create your own wallet, you will receive a private key. This is comparable to the password for your online banking. However, if someone steals your private key, they will have access to your wallet. Likewise, if you lose your private key, you will no longer be able to access your wallet. Blockchain experts recommend using hardware wallets such as those from “Ledger”(https://www.ledger.com/de) or “Bitbox”(https://shiftcrypto.ch/de/) for the secure storage of larger sums.

The acquisition or sale of share tokens is typically associated with blockchain transaction costs (esp. gas fee on Ethereum), which are generally borne by the acquirer or the seller.
The amount of the gas fee on Ethereum can fluctuate greatly depending on how busy the blockchain is at the time (the current gas fee can be seen here ). Before confirming the transaction, your Wallet should also show you an estimate of the gas fee you are likely to be charged. If the gas fee is too high, we recommend that you execute the transaction at a later date.

Yes, the tokenized RealUnit shares must be declared as assets in the tax return. Any capital gains are generally tax-free for private individuals in Switzerland. More detailed information on taxation can be found here, in FTA Circular No. 36.
The well-known economist Prince Michael of Liechtenstein said: “The digitalization of the economic system clears the way back to more self-determination and self-responsibility.” Blockchain technology forms the basis for this. The blockchain is considered a revolutionary gamechanger in the financial world. The main difference with the traditional banking system is that there is no need for a central database, as the data is stored on different computers in a decentralized manner. The greatest advantage of the technology lies in the immutability of digital data sets without having to rely on a centralized and thus manipulable authority. The manipulation of data stored on a blockchain is practically impossible.
Bitcoin, unlike the RealUnit, is not backed by real assets. The value of a Bitcoin is highly controversial among experts and is solely influenced by the demand for a limited supply. It is therefore to be expected that, compared to Bitcoin, the performance of the RealUnit will be closer to the performance of the real economy. The target groups for Bitcoin and for the RealUnit can be determined on the basis of classic investor profiles: The RealUnit is the best suited for savers and conservative investors – Bitcoin is currently mainly for risk-taking investors.
