Cybercurrency Law

Cybercurrency Law is a unique and well-timed book providing an overview of how governments in several jurisdictions are responding to the ever-expanding digital asset markets. Digital assets are steadily becoming subject to national and international regulatory scrutiny.

Accompanying the chapters on specific urgent challenges of regulating cybercurrency activity are separate chapters detailing regulatory developments and trends in each of eight major jurisdictions—the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—and also a chapter on crypto regulation in a selection of other countries. The book extensively covers the impact of digital assets business-connected technologies on the following key policy areas:
- consumer protection;
- data privacy and security;
- financial stability and systemic risk;
- crime;
- national security;
- human rights;
- financial inclusion and equity; and
- energy demand and climate change.

This book outlines in detail, for each of these areas and more, steps taken to regulate the marketing of digital assets both generally and in each of the covered jurisdictions, with information on applicable legal forums and remedies.

Considering that regulators are struggling to keep abreast with the ever-evolving and volatile crypto markets, this thoroughly researched and informed survey of current and trending regulatory measures taken globally will be highly appreciated by practitioners and regulators handling any aspect of digital asset business and will remain invaluable for the foreseeable future.
