Blockchain & crypto: A legal view
- đ¤ Speaker: Ann Sofie Cloots
- đ Date & Time: Tuesday 29 January 2019, 13:10 - 14:00
- đ Venue: The Richard King Room, Darwin College
Abstract
In 2018, Bitcoin prices plummeted but blockchain applications developed rapidly. Governments have stepped up enforcement actions against ICOs and crypto-exchanges. Those same governments, however, and the private sector have confidently embraced the underlying blockchain technology for a host of applications â from identity management to supply chains and financial markets. Why do cryptocurrency actors face a myriad of law suits? And why do companies and governments increasingly rely on blockchain nevertheless? Privacy (EU GDPR ) and money laundering are just some of the legal risks facing blockchain and crypto-token providers. Blockchain developers are slowly attempting to design solutions to improve legal compliance, some more successful than others.
