Cryptocurrencies in Public and Private Law – eBook

Cryptocurrencies in Public and Private Law, (PDF) examines how cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technologies fit into current general law categories of public and private law. The ebook takes the common law systems of the United Kingdom as the center of its search but extends beyond the UK to demonstrate how cryptocurrencies would be adapted in some Western European and East Asian legal systems outside the common law tradition.

By exploring traditional conceptions of money in public law and private law the work observes the difficulties of fitting cryptocurrencies within those approaches and models. Basic questions regarding issues of ownership, conflict of laws, transfer, and taxation are addressed with a view to training the reader with the tools to answer common transactional questions about cryptocurrencies.

The international contributor team uses the common law systems of the UK as a basis for the analysis, but also looks relatively to other systems across the wider common law and civil law world to give a detailed examination of the legal problems encountered.
