“Crypto-Assets, Foundations and Wealth Structures”
Dr. Marco Felder, Dr. Josef Bergt, Assistant Professor Dr. Thomas Stern, 2026
The rise of crypto assets has created a new category of private and entrepreneurial wealth that often differs fundamentally from traditional financial holdings. Crypto wealth is frequently held directly by founders, early investors, or entrepreneurial families through wallets, private keys and informal governance structures that may function efficiently during a growth phase but often reveal significant weaknesses over time. Questions of succession, legal ownership and emergency access are frequently unresolved.
