This incisive and thought-provoking book examines the regulation of
cryptocurrency trading by state and federal financial services
regulators in the US, in order to understand why these statutes
proved to be ineffective in regulating this new asset class. It
further analyzes and evaluates pending proposals in Congress for
more effective cryptocurrency regulation. Providing a
sector-by-sector exploration of the financial services industry,
the book delves into the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
(SEC) efforts to regulate cryptocurrencies, highlighting the flaws
in its jurisdictional claims, as well as the exclusion of “actual
delivery” contracts from Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC) jurisdiction and how this applies to cryptocurrencies. The
chapters chart the invention and rise of cryptocurrencies,
fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, and the regulation of
cryptocurrencies under banking laws, the Federal Securities Laws,
and as ‘commodities’. In addition, it reviews the application
of banking and money transmitter regulations to cryptocurrency
trading platforms and proposes a bespoke regulator structure for
cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency Regulation: A Primer is an
essential resource for students and scholars of economics, finance
and banking law, and internet and technology law. It will also be
beneficial for financial services professionals, regulators, and
members of the financial press.
