The advent of new digital currencies has challenged our notions
about money, its function and purpose, and our faith in the
financial and banking structures that underpin its legitimacy.
Oonagh McDonald charts the spectacular rise of cryptocurrencies
over the past decade and considers the opportunities and threats
that cryptocurrencies pose to existing fiat currencies. This
revised edition includes a new chapter dealing with the
high-profile bankruptcies of the recent “crypto winter”. The
book considers how regulatory bodies have been slow to respond to a
technology that is evading existing regulatory frameworks. Urgent
and more robust protection is needed from fraudulent initial coin
offerings, scams and hacks. Throughout her analysis, McDonald shows
that trust is fundamental to the operation of finance and that this
will ultimately protect commercial bank money from the threat of
new digital currencies. The book offers readers an insightful
appraisal of the future of money and the challenges facing
regulatory bodies.
