MAKING CRYPTO LESS CRYPTIC

Global finance is being infiltrated by the tokenization of the economy. But do you even know what a token is? How does it relate to our financial industry and is it even regulated? The last two years have seen significant cases that have affected the scope of regulatory powers of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as SEC v. Telegram and SEC v. Kik Interactive. Other courts have also begun to weigh in on the legal nature of tokens in trespass cases. In this seminar, we will review these cases and recent legal developments to provide an overview of the legal challenges in the world of crypto assets today.
