Description

Innovation in digital assets continues at a rapid pace, yet their status under the security laws of most jurisdictions is still the subject of litigation and emerging regulation litigation. This panel will discuss the considerations around which, if any, digital assets are correctly characterised as securities, the regulatory regime for intermediaries, and recent regulatory enforcement actions.
