CONTACT:Dr Jenny Zhao
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, Bitcoin prices plummeted but blockchain applications
  developed rapidly. Governments have stepped up enforcement actions agains
 t ICOs and crypto-exchanges. Those same governments\, however\, and the pr
 ivate sector have confidently embraced the underlying blockchain technolog
 y for a host of applications – 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 blockchai
 n nevertheless? \nPrivacy (EU GDPR) and money laundering are just some of 
 the legal risks facing blockchain and crypto-token providers. Blockchain d
 evelopers are slowly attempting to design solutions to improve legal compl
 iance\, some more successful than others.\n
