Details

International Handbook of Blockchain Law, currently in its second edition, is a handbook comprising new chapters and topics but still following the systematic and structured approach of the first edition. Blockchain’s significant advances since 2020 – including many new use cases – have necessitated a comprehensive revision of the first edition of this matchless resource.

What’s in this book:

Each contributor – all of them practitioners experienced with blockchain projects within their respective areas of expertise and specific jurisdictions – elucidates the implications of blockchain technology and related legal issues under such headings as the following:

understanding blockchain from a technological point of view;
regulatory aspects of blockchain;
smart contracts;
data privacy;
capital markets;
crypto asset regulation in Europe, the UK and the US;
intellectual property; and
antitrust law.

The foundational chapter on the technical aspects of blockchain technology has been meticulously expanded to elucidate the proof of stake consensus mechanism alongside fresh insights into the ERC-721 Token Standard for non-fungible tokens, decentralized exchanges, staking, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies.

How this will help you:

As blockchain law cements itself as a distinct legal field, this new edition is invaluable for legal practitioners, in-house lawyers, IT professionals, consultancy firms, blockchain associations, and legal scholars. At a depth that allows non-IT experts to understand the groundwork for legal assessments, the handbook provides those charting the dynamic waters of this field of law with a compass, ensuring they are well-equipped to tackle the legal issues raised by the usage of blockchain technology.
