CONTROLLING CRYPTO

An Analysis of Cryptocurrency Regulation in Today’s World

Description

The emergence of cryptocurrency has introduced various challenges around the world. In some countries—like the US and EU—regulators have been working in different frameworks to mitigate systemic risk and reduce the possibilities of fraud. In other areas of the world—like Latin America—this slow regulatory pace helps to fuel a thriving digital start-up environment.

Despite the different levels of regulatory responses around the globe, there are common concerns about Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) such as the possibility of frauds, security issues, and the possibility (and sheer scope) of integrating a common framework globally. In this webinar, you’ll explore the answers to the following questions:

  • What is the nature of a token, and can regulations about property law be applied to it?

  • Why do ICOs tend to be more successful in traditional capital markets?

  • How have ICOs have helped start-ups to establish cheaper financing structures?

  • What threats are investors facing when purchasing crypto?
