Details

The growth of Blockchain technology presents a number of legal questions for lawyers, regulators and industry participants alike. Primarily, regulators must allow Blockchain technology to develop whilst also ensuring it is not being abused.

This book addresses the challenges posed by various applications of blockchain technology, such as cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and initial coin offerings, across different fields of law. Contributors explore whether the problems posed by blockchain and it’s applications can be addressed within the present legal system or whether significant rethinking is required.
