Less than a decade after the Financial Crisis, we are witnessing
the fast emergence of a new financial order driven by three
different, yet interconnected, dynamics: first, the rapid
application of technology - such as big data, machine learning, and
distributed computing - to banking, lending, and investing, in
particular with the emergence of virtual currencies and digital
finance; second, a disintermediation fuelled by the rise of
peer-to-peer lending platforms and crowd investment which challenge
the traditional banking model and may, over time, lead to a
transformation of the way both retail and corporate customers bank;
and, third, a tendency of de-bureaucratisation under which new
platforms and technologies challenge established organisational
patterns that regulate finance and manage the money supply. These
changes are to a significant degree driven by the development of
blockchain technology. The aim of this book is to understand the
technological and business potential of the blockchain technology
and to reflect on its legal challenges. The book mainly focuses on
the challenges blockchain technology has so far faced in its first
application in the areas of virtual money and finance, as well as
those that it will inevitably face (and is partially already
facing, as the SEC Investigative Report of June 2017 and an ongoing
SEC securities fraud investigation show) as its domain of
application expands in other fields of economic activity such as
smart contracts and initial coin offerings. The book provides an
unparalleled critical analysis of the disruptive potential of this
technology for the economy and the legal system and contributes to
current thinking on the role of law in harvesting and shaping
innovation.
