This short and interactive lecture will be delivered by Professor Sarah Green.
It will focus on the way in which the law has had to adapt to accommodate the increasing use of digital assets by both private commercial entities and national banking institutions. What started as cryptocurrency and recreational NFTs (non-fungible tokens) has now become a significant device in mainstream finance.
In a world of tokenised bank deposits, money market funds and stablecoins, it is crucial that the law keeps up with technological and commercial reality. In this session, Sarah will explain what has been done (with specific reference to her work at the Law Commission of England and Wales) and what still needs to happen.
