As Aaron Grinhaus observes in A Practical Guide to Smart Contracts and Blockchain Law, “Financial technology has undergone a number of shifts throughout history: from the advent of barter … to this most recent shift from government regulated and controlled fictions of value to that governed by trustless confidence. However, the focus on the use and regulation, and thus the rules upon which we base the activities which engage financial technologies, remain base at their core."
This new publication casts a critical light on those rules, thereby providing a timely and comprehensive overview of legal issues relating to distributed ledger technology, Blockchain and smart contracts.
