Course Description:

The increasingly important role of cryptocurrency and digital assets in the development of the digital economy demands the creation of a strong legal and regulatory regime that accommodates new technological innovations and the adoption of crypto and virtual assets. The introduction of virtual asset reporting frameworks is an important step toward establishing a robust regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, digital tokens, virtual assets, and exchanges. This session explores the context of a published consultation paper in July 2022 covering foundational reforms to private property law related to virtual assets.
