Description

The treatment of crypto-assets in collateral arrangements remains an area of major legal uncertainty. Moreover, a key issue that surfaced on day one after the first insolvency proceedings were commenced with respect to crypto companies in mid-2022 was the treatment of property rights and interests in crypto assets. The session will expand on the relevant issues (including questions of applicable law; issues of ownership, possession, transfer and control of a digital asset; how to establish collateral and security interests; risks relating to custody and intermediation; and effects of technological events such as forks, staking, etc) and will also provide an overview of the related work of UNIDROIT.
