Blockchain technology and distributed ledgers are attracting massive attention and trigger multiple projects in different industries. However, the financial industry is seen as a primary user of the blockchain concept.

On top of this, the financial crisis revealed that even in financial services it is not always possible to identify the correct present owner of an asset. It is even more of a problem to retrace ownership over a longer chain of changing buyers in global financial transaction services: when, e.g., the US investment bank Bear Stearns failed in 2008 and was completely acquired by JP Morgan Chase, the number of shares offered to the acquirer was larger than the shares outstanding in the books of Bear Stearns. It was not possible to clarify the accounting errors and JP Morgan Chase had to bear the damage from excess (digital) shares. …
