About This Course

There is much confusion regarding the many cryptocurrencies available and even more about blockchain technology; particularly in light of recent market upheavals.

Global observers are keen to determine whether cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology are taking us in a new currency direction, or whether crypto is a fading fad. The answers to these questions may lie in the legal analysis.

What are the legal challenges and do the challenges doom the blockchain? Or can our legal infrastructures support it proliferation.

This CLE will examine several key legal issues which may help us determine the future. At a minimum, participants will walk away with a basic understanding of key legal issues in this area of law.
