Cybercurrency Law by Edward J. Swan Book PDF Summary
Digital assets are increasingly becoming subject to national and international regulatory scrutiny. This timely book provides an overview of how, as digital asset markets expand, governments in a wide range of jurisdictions are responding to them. In addition to chapters on specific urgent challenges of regulating cybercurrency activity, there 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—as well as a chapter on crypto regulation in a selection of other countries. The book thoroughly covers the impact of digital assets business-connected technologies on such important policy areas as the following: 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. 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 are extensively described, with information on applicable legal forums and remedies. Because the rapid evolution and volatility of the crypto markets have left regulators struggling to keep pace, this deeply researched and informed survey of current and trending regulatory measures taken worldwide will prove of inestimable value to practitioners and regulators handling any aspect of digital asset business and will remain of great worth for the foreseeable future.
