Cryptocurrency & regulation: where are we now, and where are we going?

Je m'inscris

The growth of cryptocurrency from speculative investment to a new asset class has prompted governments around the world to explore ways to regulate it. As cryptocurrency has become a more significant factor in the global investment landscape, countries have taken different approaches to regulating the asset class. The European Union became the first to adopt measures requiring crypto service providers to detect and stop illicit cryptocurrency uses.

Given the size of the industry and the impending regulatory push, it is worth now taking stock of the current state of regulation. In doing so, it will become clear that a globally coordinated approach to regulation is necessary.

This training gives you practical insights into the technical, legal and tax aspects of cryptocurrencies.
