Cryptocurrencies in Public and Private Law

This book examines how cryptocurrencies based on blockchain technologies, fit into existing general law categories of public and private law. The book takes the common law systems of the UK as the centre of its study but extends beyond the UK to show how cryptocurrencies are accommodated in non-common law systems.
