Hi,
As part of IR team of Bitbond STO, I'm qualified to answer your questions.
• BaFin is the financial regulatory body here in Germany
• Based in Berlin, Bitbond is registered as a financial institution at BaFin and you can check the record on their portal: https://portal.mvp.bafin.de/database/InstInfo/institutDetails.do?cmd=loadInstitutAction&institutId=146194
• BaFin also approved later the STO Prospectus of Bitbond, allowing us to issue the token in compliance with securities issuance law. The record is also visible on their portal: https://portal.mvp.bafin.de/database/VPInfo/emittenten.do?id=1184320&bereich=3&cmd=zeigeProspekteZuEmittent
Hope this will clear your mind on those relevant questions!
Feel free to document yourself more with the full prospectus on https://www.bitbondsto.com/files/bitbond-sto-prospectus.pdf
