The accelerating adoption of blockchain/distributed ledger technologies and crypto-assets by established market participants and new entrants alike is changing the world around us. In parallel, the rapid technological and commercial advancements in this emergent space are giving rise to novel issues ranging from the nature of proprietary and security rights in crypto-assets, tracing of and enforcement against crypto-assets, the legal status of new forms of organisations, potential liabilities of intermediaries, developers and programmers, and conflicts of laws.
