The growth of Blockchain technology presents a number of legal
questions for lawyers, regulators and industry participants alike.
This book identifies the legal challenges posed by
cryptocurrencies, smart contracts and other applications of
Blockchain, questioning whether these challenges can be addressed
within the current legal system, or whether significant changes are
required. Chapters assess how Blockchain's many applications will
affect different areas of law, including contract, criminal,
financial and private international law. Contributors analyse how
these fields of law may need to adapt to accommodate Blockchain
technology, proposing possible solutions and ways forward. Several
chapters are based on the Swiss legal framework as it allows market
participants the widest freedom to operate in Blockchains and
cryptocurrencies. Overall, this illuminating work highlights the
importance of creating a regulatory structure that will allow
Blockchain technologies to develop, whilst also ensuring they are
not abused. The conclusions of this book are however quite
reassuring, with contributing authors suggesting that although
disruptive, the challenges brought about by the 'Blockchain
revolution' can, for the most part, be effectively addressed within
the law as we know it. This book will be a valuable resource for
practising lawyers and academic researchers who are interested in
understanding more about how legal and regulatory systems will be
affected by the implementation of Blockchain technologies.
